MIAMI (Reuters) -Formula One drivers are always asking teams to give them the tools for success but champions McLaren went a step too far when they left two torches in Lando Norris's car at the Miami Grand Prix on Friday.

The British driver’s weekend started in peculiar circumstances when he took to the track with a spanner and torch inside his car.

LANDO NORRIS’ MCLAREN team are being investigated by Formula One’s governing body after they left tools in his cockpit during opening practice for the Miami Grand Prix. Norris said he needed to kick his stuttering championship challenge into gear here in Florida after seeing team-mate Oscar Piastri usurp him at the top of the standings.
