The Austrian Grand Prix stewards assessed Max Verstappen’s actions in the first part of qualifying for a possible blocking from Kevin Magnussen and concluded that the reigning world champion did not block the Haas driver.
The stewards’ decision says that Max saw Kevin and, after completing a fast lap, turned left at the exit of the first corner. Magnussen claimed to dodge to the right of Max, and then lost speed, but after reviewing the telemetry and video footage, the stewards found that Kevin hit the kerb in the first corner and thought this was the Dane’s loss of speed. in the following mini-sectors. The stewards also concluded that Magnussen “needed not take any significant evasive action”.
In addition, the stewards added that this circle of Magnussen was still canceled due to crossing the boundaries of the track in turn ten. They did have to investigate a possible blockage.
For example, no penalties were imposed on Max Verstappen and he retained first place at the start of the Austrian Grand Prix.
