Norris explains the thinking behind grid penalty in Belgium

Lando Norris will take a 10-place grid penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix after McLaren fitted a new power electronics unit to his car, exceeding the permitted allocation of that component. The decision was made to address reliability issues that have plagued Norris throughout the season, with the same part failing at previous rounds including China and Japan. Norris acknowledged the setback on Thursday's media day at Spa, noting Belgium was a preferable circuit at which to serve the penalty.
