SPIELBERG, Austria (AP) — Formula One’s governing body has rejected McLaren’s right of review request for the time penalty given to Lando Norris at the Canadian Grand Prix, where he dropped down from ninth to 13th place for driving deliberately slowly.Following a review hearing on Sunday, which was held ahead of the Austrian GP and attended by two McLaren team representatives, the petition was rejected on the grounds that there was no new relevant element of information available to McLaren that wasn’t at the time.Only a relevant new element could have led to a second hearing taking place at a later date. Norris was handed a five-second penalty during the race in Montreal for what the stewards called “unsportsmanlike behavior.”After Mercedes driver George Russell triggered a safety car by crashing into the wall and sending debris on the track, McLaren told its drivers Oscar Piastri and Norris to pit for new tires.

Ubicada a 2.800 metros (1,7 millas) de profundidad en los tramos inferiores de la llamada zona crepuscular, fue una de las seis montañas submarinas inspeccionadas por el robot submarino de la embarcación, ROV SuBastian.“Pudimos ver que algunos de ellos estaban listos para explotar, como si el pulpo acabara de salir”, dijo la geomicrobióloga Beth Orcutt, científica investigadora principal del Laboratorio Bigelow de Ciencias Oceánicas con sede en Maine, quien ...
