The FIA has officially concluded an extensive inspection of one of McLaren’s cars just before the highly anticipated United States Grand Prix, bringing relief to the team as no breaches of F1 technical regulations were found. The inspection came after McLaren’s successful performances in the 2024 season, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri shining on the track.
The FIA’s examination focused on components related to the gearbox of Oscar Piastri’s car, following his impressive podium finish at the Singapore GP last month. In an official statement, the FIA clarified, “After a thorough inspection of the McLaren car, we found no irregularities, and the vehicle complies fully with the F1 technical regulations.”
As McLaren continues its push for both the drivers’ and constructors’ titles, this final clearance by the FIA allows the team to focus entirely on the upcoming race. With Lando Norris locked in a fierce championship battle with Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri continuing to impress, McLaren is poised for an intense fight as they approach the season’s final stages.
All eyes are now on the US Grand Prix, where Norris and Verstappen will renew their rivalry, and McLaren will aim to build on their momentum.
