Red Bull fined £43,000 after team member tries to tamper with Lando Norris grid tape

Red Bull Fined £43,000 for Attempted Tampering with Lando Norris' Grid Tape At the US Grand Prix, a Red Bull team member was caught on CCTV attempting to remove a piece of tape placed on the pit wall by McLaren to help their driver Lando Norris align his car correctly on the grid. This act of gamesmanship was in violation of regulations, and the race stewards fined Red Bull £43,000 for the incident, which occurred just before the start of the race. Norris was lined up behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen on the grid. The attempt by the Red Bull team member to tamper with the grid tape was an unusual example of low-level strategic maneuvering between the rival teams. The fine imposed by the stewards underscores the importance of maintaining fairness and compliance with regulations in Formula 1 racing.
