Summary: The FIA defended Lando Norris's 10-second stop-and-go penalty at the Qatar Grand Prix for failing to slow under double-waved yellow flags, citing safety protocols. McLaren criticized the severity, as Norris dropped from second to last before recovering to 10th. The FIA also explained the delayed safety car deployment, noting initial debris posed minimal risk until worsened by a collision. Safety procedures, including a swap of malfunctioning safety cars, are under review. The race director’s expanded workload and governance issues added to scrutiny.

Yeah it was ridiculous. It was off the racing line but at the end part of a DRS straight, so there would be many drivers going off the line to overtake.

I thought the Norris penalty was a bit harsh. 10 seconds would be fine. Stop & go was extreme.
