On the sixth lap of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, there was a collision between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, for which the reigning world champion was given a five-second penalty. The head of Red Bull Racing, Christian Horner, believes that Max has been unfairly punished and that what happened should be considered a racing incident.
“I think Max should have been given more space,” Horner told Racingnews365. – Lewis was able to move a bit as Max was already ahead in the first left turn.
As far as I remember, this is the only incident for Max this season. Unfortunately, Max was given a five-second penalty for him, which further deteriorated his position in the race. We were very upset by this fact and by the fact that Max lost a lot of time due to the damage to the car.
The fine came as a surprise to us. Actually, he was fined for the racing incident.”
