Max Verstappen escapes penalty, keeps F1 Austrian GP pole after impeding investigation

Two-time world champion Verstappen was summoned to see the stewards for allegedly "une🦄ccessarily impeding" Magnussen during the first part of Friday qualifying at the Red Bull Ring.
The incident occured durin🗹g Q1 when Magnussen, who was starting a flying lap, came across a slow-moving Verstappen at the exit of Turn 1.
Footage showed Magnussen having to move across to the right with Ve🐠rstappen going slowly on the outside.
Verstappen queried the incident over team radio, asking: "He was on a fastꦬ lap?"
Race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase replied: "Yep, rog♈er."
Magnussen went on to have hi♌s lap deleted for a track limits violation.
The Dutchman pipped Ferrari's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc to the fastest time in qualifying to claim his fourth successiv🗹e p🐼ole this season.
What did the stewards say?

"The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 1 (Max Ve🌠rstappen), the driver of Car 20 (Kevin Magnussen), team representatives and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence.
"The driver of Car 1 stated that he saw a car app🐻roaching after he crossed the line at the end of his push lap and moved to the left of the track after the exit of Turn 1.
"The driver of Car 20 stated that he had to move t🃏o the right to avoid Car 1 and hence lost time on his fast la𝔍p.
"The Stewards determi💫ned from the video (and audio) evidence that Car 20 had clipped the kerb in Turn 1 and that this subsequently caused a slight change in acceleration which♔ in turn resulted in a slightly slower time on the next mini sectors.
"The S𝔉🍬tewards further determined that Car 20 did not have to take significant evasive action.
"We further note that the fact that the la💝p time of Car 20 was subsequently deleted (due to exceeding track limits at Turn 10) was irrelevant to this decision. Any incident is always investigated independently of other incidents or penalties."
