FIA announce Verstappen penalty verdict after ANOTHER Hamilton battle
The FIA have made a decision regarding Max Verstappen’s overtake on Lewis Hamilton at the Hungarian Grand Prix following scrutiny by race stewards. Verstappen and Hamilton engaged in a tight battle for P10 during the race, with Verstappen making an overtaking move that saw Hamilton go wide off the track. After a post-race review, it was determined that no further action would be taken on the incident involving the overtake. Despite being summoned, Hamilton chose not to participate in the hearing, while Verstappen defended his driving by stating he had control of his car and could have left more space inside for Hamilton. The stewards concluded that since there was no contact between the cars and Hamilton had run off the track, the incident did not qualify as forcing another car off track, resulting in no penalty for Verstappen. Both drivers had a tough race in Hungary, finishing P9 and P12, respectively, with the upcoming summer break providing a much-needed break for them.
