Red Bull warned Verstappen’s F1 victory burnout “will not be tolerated” again

After taking a dominant fourth victory of the season at the Red Bull Ring, Verstappen slowed down on the main straight as he crossed✅ the line to complete a burnout in celebration in front 🌺of his team on the pit wall.
While drivers are allowed to celebrate wins and often weave acro𒈔ss the start-finish straight or performജ doughnuts, FIA race director Michael Masi was not impressed by Verstappen’s actions.
Masi revealed after the race that race control looke﷽d at Verstappen’s celeඣbration straight away and informed Red Bull that a repeat would not be accepted in future.
Asked if Verstappen’🌊s celebration was looked at by race control⛄, Masi replied: “Yes I did, as soon as it happened.
“It was ꦛnot an ideal situation, which is why I spoke to the team immediately and told them accordingly, that it’s something that would not be tolerated in the future.”
Article 43.3 of F1’s sporting regulations states that drivers must a🔯dhere to strict rules regarding post-race ce🌺lebrations.
“The winning driver may perform an act of cele🥃bration before reaching parc ferme, provided any such act is performed safely and does not endanger other drivers or any officials, does not call into que🍷stion the legality of his car, and does not delay the podium ceremony.”
In 2015, Roberto Merhi was handed a race ban for causing a massive crash with Nicholas Latifi on the start finish straight fol🌜lowing a ꧙Formula Renault 3.5 race.
