F1 stewards told wrong decision was made in Verstappen investigation

According to the F1 stewards, it was wrong not to give Max Verstappen a penalty during the Hungarian Grand Prix for his collision with Lewis Hamilton. RacingNews365 readers.

On lap 63 of 70 at the Hungaroring, Verstappen attempted to brake past Hamilton for third place, having tried to “save” himself after Red Bull’s strategy had dropped him to fifth late in the race.

However, he braked incorrectly, locked up and collided with Hamilton’s left front hand, sending the RB20 flying into the air.

An investigation was launched into the incident, which was believed to have caused a collision, but the stewards decided to take no further action. Verstappen finished fifth.

In their verdict, the stewards concluded that “the driver of car 44 (Hamilton) could have done more to avoid the collision.”

After the decision, RacingNews365 simply asked readers whether the stewards were right not to punish the Dutchman.

The verdict was clear and the results can be found below.
