AlphaTauri not attending Max Verstappen impeding hearing "a sporting disappointment" - Martin Brundle
The reigning world champion was summoned to the stewards for three separate ꦰcases of potential impeding.
One of them looked clear cut, with Verstappen getting in the way of AlphaTauri’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda.
The stewards ul🤪timately handed Verstappen a reprimand, rather than three-place grid penalty, while Red Bull received a minor fine for f🐼ailing to communicate with their driver.
They noted: “Just prior to Tsunoda passing Verstappen, Verstappe♊n saw the car behind approaching and moved to the left, however quite late.
“The team admitted that there was poor communication on its part and that it did not advise its driver until Car 22 was alongsid🐈e.”
“Quite how Max Verstappen didn't also get a penalty for impeding Yuki Tsunoda in qualifying when c♒ons🐲idering other penalties applied this season was a great surprise to many in the paddock, which I confidently predict includes the team and driver in question,” he wrote.
“That Tsunoda🍸's Alpha Tauri team didn't send a representative to the hearing, albeit as the junior Red Bull team, was a sporꦓting disappointment to me.”
