Throughout the weekend in Monaco, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri was consistently involved.
A random FIA inspection following the Monaco Grand Prix saw the McLaren chassis used by Lando Norris inspected for its low-pressure fuel system.
After undergoing thorough inspections by the FIA, the MCL38 successfully passed its random inspection, demonstrating compliance with technical regulation Articles 5.11 and 6.
McLaren pass ‘extensive’ post-Monaco inspections by FIA
Norris’ McLaren was the car chosen at random among the top 10 finishers in Monaco for further FIA inspections beyond their usual post-race checks, with the low pressure fuel system the part looked at on the car.
Jo Bauer, the FIA technical delegate, conducted physical inspections to assess the low pressure fuel system’s compliance with TR Articles 5.11 and 6, as well as the team’s submission in accordance with TD001H 3.1.
In addition, the FIA Technical Centre in Valleiry conducted compliance checks on the low pressure fuel system.
“All components that were inspected were determined to comply with the 2024 Formula One Technical Regulations.”

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc had said in Imola recently that McLaren and Red Bull are “doing something weird with the energy, engine-wise” that the Scuderia are not able to match, but no evidence to support that claim has yet arisen for either team.
McLaren enters the Canadian Grand Prix weekend on a positive note, following a streak of four races where one of their drivers has consistently secured a top-two finish. Oscar Piastri notably achieved second place in the previous race in Monaco, trailing behind Leclerc.
The Woking-based team are currently third in the Constructors’ Championship on 184 points, 68 points behind Ferrari and 92 behind current leaders Red Bull.
