Answers: Were the F1 stewards right to penalize Lando Norris and Sergio Perez at the Austrian Grand Prix?

• F1 stewarding decisions
• Overtaking rules
• Turn 4 Austrian Grand Prix
• International Sporting Code
• Racing incidents

What it concludes

• Norris forced Perez off the track at Turn 4, justifying the 5-second penalty and penalty points under the International Sporting Code.
• Perez forced Leclerc off the track at Turn 6 on Lap 41, justifying the stewards' 5-second penalty and penalty points.
• Defending drivers are not required to completely yield position when an attacker attempts an outside overtake, but must leave sufficient racing room if the attacking car is substantially alongside.
• Attacking on the outside of a corner carries inherent risks of being forced wide due to natural car inclination and off-camber geometry.
