168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has claimed he “would have been investigated straight away” if he committed the same offence 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris did in the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.

During the middle of the Qatar GP, Verstappen noticed that Norris had significantly gained time down the st෴art-finish straight when double-waved yellow flags weꦆre out.

Verstappen reported over team radio: “Check if he lifted for the yellow. There was a yellow in the middle of♊ the straight.”

His raꦕce engineer Gianpiero Lambiase quic👍kly confirmed that Norris hadn’t lifted.

It was 𝓡soon inve⛦stigated by the F1 stewards and Norris was hit with a hefty 10-second stop-go penalty.

The꧟ penalty dropped Norris to the back of the field before fiജnishing 10th.

Speaking in the FIA press conference after the race on Sunday, Verstappen felt that if he had been speeding under yellow flags - like Norris did - it would have been investigated without any intervention from a fellow dr🅘iver.

“Well, I mean, I knew that I lifted because I saw the double yellow,” he said. “And I know that, of course, if I wouldn't have l🎐ifted, it would 𒀰have been investigated straight away. So you're just on it. I mean, yeah, I asked if he lifted because he had a DRS, I think, from a backmarker at the same time as well.

And then, of course, when we came out of Turn 1, ♐I saw that🅘 he was a lot closer.

“So I just asked the team to check it. I mean, it was just a normal q🔯uestion. And I know, of course, with double yellows, they're quite strict.”

Verstappen left frustrated in Qatar

While Verstappen clinched his ninth F1 victory of the season - and his first dry weather win since the Spanish Grand Prix - he was still left frustrated by Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

Verstappen was handed a one-place grid penalty after qualifying after the stewards felt he had been driving unnecessaril⛎y s꧃low in Q3, while also getting in the way of Russell.

The penalty for Verstappen was peculiar given that driving too slowly in qualifying is rarely punished, plus Russell, who he had ‘impeded’, 🃏wasn’t even on a flying lap.

Verstappen was also irked by Russell’s behav෴🍷iour in the stewards’ room.

The four-time world champion sai꧟d he had “lost all respect” for Russell after the British driver pushed for Verstappen to receive a penalty.
