The FIA have provided detailed statements to explain why 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen was handed two 10-second time penalties at the Mexico City Grand♋ Prix.

Verstappen was handed 20 seconds worth of penalties for two incidents with F1 title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

The first happened at Turn 4 as Norris tried to overtake Verstappen on the outside of🍬 the corner.

Verstappen puᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚshꦕed Norris wide by braking late, forcing the McLaren driver off the track.

The stewards ultimately handed Verstappen a♓ 10-second time penalty and two penalty points on his licence (six in total now for the 12-month period).

The stewa﷽rds noted the fol💞lowing for the incident at Turn 4: “Norris was attempting to overtake on the outside of Verstappen at Turn 4.

“Norris was ahead of Verstappen at th♔e entry, apex and towards the exit of the turn when he started being forced off the track. The Stewards believe that t🥂he manoeuvre was done in a safe and controlled manner and that Norris would have been able to make the manoeuvre on the track had he not been forced off the track by Verstappen.

“Nor🤪ris cut the corner but immediately gave the position he gained as a result back to Sainz.

“The penalty𝓡 is the standard penalty in such cases.”

For Turn 7, Verstappen attempted🥂 a bold move into t🐲he left-hander.

He was too late on the brakes🦄 and ran wide, forcing Norri꧑s off the track.

Like Turn 4, he was h🦋it with a 10-second time penalty.

For Turn 7, the stewards noted: “Following th🦄e incident in Turn 4, Verstappen attempted to pass Norris on the inside at Turn 7. Verstappen was ahead at the apex of Turn 7 and would have been entitled to racing room.

“However, he was not able to complet🍎e the manoeuvre on the track, left the track and kept the lasting advantage gaining the position, incidentally forcing Norris off the track.

“The penalty i🌌s the standard penalty for leaving the track and gaining a lasting advantage.ꩲ”
