Verstappen finished second behind Hamilton in a dramatic first-ever race in Jeddah which was r𝓰ed-flagged twice.

The Duඣtchman was hit with a five-second penalty after he was deemed to have gained an advantage by going off the track when he defended aggressively from Hamꩵilton into Turn 1 for the lead.

The controversy didn’t stop there as when Verstappen attempted to give the place back - to avoid aജ penalty - Hamilton hit the back of him.

Thus, he has been summoned to the stewards for an alleged brake test, while H𝐆amilton has also been asked to see the stewards for the pair’s contact on the run to Turn 27.

Veℱrstappen was voted as F1’s DOTD and he immediately voiced his frustration d🌜uring his interview afterwards.

“Luckily ♚the fans have a clear mind about racing because 🅠what happened today is unbelievable," Verstappen said.

“I'm just trying to🌸 race and this sport these days is more about penalties than about racing. For me this iꦆs not Formula 1 but at least the fans enjoyed it.

“I gave it all today bu😼t clearly not quick enou🅷gh. But still, happy with second."

Explaining the alleged brake test, Verstappen explained: “I slowed down. I wanted to let him by, ꧋so I'm on the right but he didn't want to overtake and then we touched.

“I don't really understand what happened there."

Verstappen adඣmitted he wasn’t sure if his tyres were good enough to maintain the lead.

“A lot of things happened which I don’t fully agree wi𓃲th, but it is what it is,” Verstappen added.

“At least I tried it on track, to give it all. I’m not sure if the tyres were lasting till the end, I think it was good for the beginning of that end of the stint, last stint b꧋asically.

“Just lacking a bit of rubber I think towards the end. Nevertheless, still second൩.”
