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 "uneccessarily impeding" Magnusse💝n during the first part of Friday qualifying at the Red Bull Ring.
The incident occured during Q1 when Magnussen, wh🅷o was starting a flying lap, came across a slow-moving Verstappen at the exit of Turn 1.
Footage showed Magnussen havin🍰g to move across to the right with Verstappen going slowly on the outside.
Verstappen queried the inc🔯ident over team radioও, asking: "He was on a fast lap?"
Race engineer Gianpiero Lam❀ౠbiase replied: "Yep, roger."
Magn൲ussen went on to have his 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 c🤪laim his fourth successive pole this season.
What did the stewards say?

"The Stewards heard from the driver of Ca💧r 1 (Max Verstappen), 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 approaching after he crossed the line at the endꦺ of his push lap and moved to the left of the track after the exit of Turn 1.
"The driver of Car 20 stated 🉐thatไ he had to move to the right to avoid Car 1 and hence lost time on his fast lap.
"The Stewards determined 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 sec🌟tors.
"The Stewards further determi𝔉ned that Car 20 did not have to take significant evasive action.
"We further note that the fact that the lap time of Ca♏r 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."
