Max Verstappen is at risk of losing further points to Formula 1 title rival Lando Norris in the aftermath of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, as he is subject to a post-race investigation
Following the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Max Verstappen is currently facing the risk of losing further points to Formula 1 title rival Lando Norris due to a post-race investigation. Verstappen finished fifth in the race but is under scrutiny for a possible infraction during the virtual safety car period. This investigation also includes Nico Hulkenberg, Pierre Gasly, and Esteban Ocon. Verstappen’s alleged violation took place during overtaking maneuvers under virtual safety car conditions. The outcome of this inquiry could potentially affect the championship standings, as Norris is closely trailing Verstappen. Both drivers’ teams have been involved in separate investigations, with McLaren’s pitlane-related breach unlikely to impact the race results.
