Red Bull only received a warning after leaving a cloth inside Max Verstappen’s RB21 during second practice at the Hungarian GP.
The FIA has provided an explanation for why Red Bull did not face penalties after Max Verstappen’s incident during the Hungarian Grand Prix second practice. Verstappen was seen trying to remove a small cloth from the track by throwing it out of his RB21 while driving slowly through Turn 3. Despite the cloth landing on the asphalt, it did not hinder Verstappen’s driving capabilities or pose a significant risk as it stayed away from the racing line. Usually, releasing a car from the garage with objects inside results in fines, but in this case, Red Bull received a warning because the cloth did not affect the driver’s control of the car. The stewards’ report highlighted that the team was unaware of the towel in the cockpit, and while the action was deemed unsafe, it was considered less severe than leaving a dangerous object inside the car.
