What happened: Television graphics during the São Paulo Grand Prix incorrectly logged Lando Norris with a 5.5-second pit stop during green-flag service at Interlagos. McLaren clarified that team telemetry timed the stationary stop at 2.2 seconds, confirming no crew delay occurred.

Why it matters: The timing correction confirmed the crew maintained its advantage during a chaotic pit window where rival cars struggled on pit exit. Clean servicing protected track position at the front, ultimately assisting McLaren in securing the Grand Prix victory over Isack Hadjar and Max Verstappen.

What to watch: Formula 1 heads into the final stretch of the 2026 campaign after Kimi Antonelli secured the drivers' world championship in Mexico. Teams will review timing feed integrations ahead of the season's remaining rounds.
