McLaren's Andrea Stella sharply criticized the Formula One stewards following Sunday's U.S. Grand Prix, arguing that the penalty imposed on Lando Norris was unjust and damaging to his title prospects.

Norris was penalized after overtaking rival Max Verstappen for third place, as both cars veered off track. Stella contended that both cars benefited from the maneuver, arguing it should not have resulted in a penalty.

The team's frustration was palpable, with Stella maintaining their move was legitimate, while Red Bull's Christian Horner supported the stewards' decision as correct and necessary.
