As the drivers prepare for the second Grand Prix in of the triple header, the questions keep circling back around to the controversy following last weekend’s US Grand Prix, where Lando Norris was denied a podium in favour of Max Verstappen, after overtaking the Dutchman off-track.

Pierre Gasly has seen happier times in Formula 1. The Alpine driver finished 17th during last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, but if wasn’t for Daniel Ricciardo’s stop for the fastest lap he would have been last.
