Ten seconds of penalty and two points on the License for a total of 7 before the 12 at which the disqualification race starts: this is the decision of the Commissioners against Max Verstappen for the collision with Lewis Hamilton when the Dutch Red Bull tried to return the position to the Mercedes driver during an excited Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
In the document, the Stewards pointed out that Verstappen exercised one 69 bar pressure on the brake pedal, suddenly decelerating of 2.4G. These figures put the Dutchman in the position of being mainly guilty in the eyes of the Commissioners for what happened. Furthermore, the College of Commissioners admitted that yes, Hamilton could have overcome it, but that the fact that Verstappen was waiting for the detection point for the next DRS area was taken into account in the analysis of the episode. In the light of this document, the Commissioners have ascertained a ‘brake-test’ by Verstappen, who was punished, but without losing positions in the order of arrival and points in the standings.
