Verstappen faces investigation for two impeding incidents
The reigning world champion, Max Verstappen, was seen sitting at the end of the pit lane for a long time while the green light was displayed. Cars, including Mercedes’ George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, were stacked up behind Verstappen as he waited to pull away. Sky F1’s Martin Brundle suggested that unless Verstappen had an issue, it would be difficult to argue against the idea that he was impeding the others. Ted Kravitz, Sky’s pitlane reporter, added that if Verstappen were to receive a penalty, then others should also be penalized as this behavior is quite common. Verstappen is also being investigated for potentially impeding Yuki Tsunoda in Q2, and several other drivers are facing investigations for similar incidents in the final corners of Q1. Additionally, Logan Sargeant is under investigation for blocking Stroll.
