Max Verstappen unpunished for late press conference arrival breach
Max Verstappen has escaped a penalty for turning up late to the FIA press confer๊ence at the F1 Austrian Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has avoided a penalty at the F1 Austrian Gran♚d Pri𝕴x after his late arrival to the FIA press conference on Thursday.
The reigning world champion turned up 15 minutes late to the FIA press conference which also featured 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Yuki Tsunoda on media day at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
Verstappen was investigated for the unusual breach of regulations before the on-trac𒐪k action had even begun, but the FIA confirmed on Friday morning that the Red Bu෴ll driver would not be penalised.
“The Media Delegate reported that the driver had some transportation issues on the way to the track, but the team informed the FIA in advance,” the 🐭stewards noted.
"The Stewards conclude that the driver and the team took every reasonable measure given the circumstances and therefore impose no penalty despite teꦐchnically the regulations have been breached.”
Verstappen faced several questions regarding his fu🦩ture on Thursday but gave his clearest answer yet that he has no inꦓtention of leaving Red Bull.
The three-time worl✤d champion has been heavily-linked wiꦉth a switch to rivals Mercedes following Toto Wolff’s very public courting of the Dutchman.
Asked if he could leave Red Bull if they do not have the best car in 2025, Verstappen replied: “I don’t think that’🦩s how Formula 1 works – where then suddenly you can say, ‘well, bye guys’. It’s not how it works.
“I have a long contract with the team, I’m very happy where I’m at and, like I said before, we’re focusing also ꦏalready on next yea♑r with things we can implement on the car.
“So, I gu🌄ess that should say enough of where I’m driving next year.”
