Inquiry into the absence of penalties for Verstappen following his qualifying session at the Grand Prix in Zandvoort.
In the build-up to the Dutch Grand Prix, GPblog issued a warning to McLaren about Max Verstappen's potential strategic advantage. The Red Bull driver, known for his lightning-fast starts, was expected to overtake immediately after the start on home turf.
However, the race didn't start smoothly for Verstappen. During the race, he had a braking incident while complying with a yellow flag. This incident resulted in a delta time violation, but the driver explained the incident, and no further action was taken against him.
Despite the incident, McLaren's stated interest remains to beat Verstappen. The team will undoubtedly be looking to capitalise on any opportunities that arise in the remaining laps of the race.
Interestingly, Verstappen escaped punishment from the race stewards despite an investigation. The race control apparently could not find sufficient rule breaches that would justify a penalty. Details about the specific incident or the decision were not provided in the available search results.
As the race progresses, it will be intriguing to see how McLaren and Verstappen's strategies unfold, and whether the Dutch driver can maintain his lead despite the initial setback.
