MEXICO CITY - McLaren team chief Zak Brown praised the race stewards for handing Max Verstappen 20 seconds in penalties on Oct 27, adding that it was "probably not enough" after the three-time world champion finished sixth at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Verstappen, the championship leader but without a win in 10 races since the Spanish Grand Prix in June, was penalized for his overaggressive driving in two bruising incidents with Norris in the early stages of the race.
Both times, he pushed the Briton off the circuit, as he had in similar circumstances in Austin during the Oct 20 United States Grand Prix.
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, who leaves the team to be replaced by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton in 2025, won the race ahead of Norris, with Charles Leclerc third in the second Ferrari.
"It's probably not enough. I mean it's getting a bit ridiculous. I applaud the FIA (International Automobile Federation) stewards. Enough is enough. Let's just have some good, clean racing moving forwards," said Brown.
"I think the stewards are on it, I think that's clear by the penalties that were given. The stewards did a good job this weekend."
