✨The reigning world champion was seen sitting at the end of the pit lane for a long time while the 🦋green light was displayed.

Cars, including the Merc✱edes duo of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, were stacked up behind Verstappen's Red Bull as he waited to pull away. 

"Unless heꦜ had an issue there, I think it will be quite difficult to argue against that he was making himself a gap and impeding the others. But maybe he had a gremlin he was sorting out," Sky F1's Martin Brundle said. 

Sk🍌y's pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz added: "If they do give him a penalty, which I don't think they will, they'd have to give everyone else a penalty as I've watched plenty of people do that. 

"Maybe it was in a more exaggerated way but when you can't go out on the track and stand in anyone's way when you're trying to get a gap, the only w🎐ay you can do that really is in the pit lane.

"So I think that's fairly standard stuff🐻 but we'll see what the stewards do."

Verstappen is also being investigated for potentially im꧂peding AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda in Q2ℱ. 

Several drivers including Verstapp✱en are facing investigations over possible impeding incidents in the final few corners 🦄amid a hectic end to Q1. 

Separately💜, Logan Sargeant is under investigation for blocking Stroll.&nb🥃sp;
