Lando Norris hopes Belgian Grand Prix grid penalty doesn't end his Spa weekend before it starts

McLaren's Lando Norris will take a 10-place grid penalty at the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa after fitting a fourth power electronics unit this season, exceeding the allowed limit. The team opted to take the penalty in Belgium due to the circuit's overtaking opportunities. Norris has suffered multiple power unit reliability issues this season, including a terminal failure in China that prevented him from starting the race.
