The penalty comes after the team fitted Norris’s car with a fourth power electronics unit this season, exceeding the three-unit limit set by Formula One regulations. Earlier in the season, Norris experienced issues with his first two power electronics units. Both failed under “terminal” conditions—first in China, where Norris was forced to withdraw before the race start, and later during free practice in Monaco.
