Mercedes requests review of Verstappen-Hamilton Brazil incident
While battling for the race lead at Interlagos, Verstappen was forced to defend🀅 aggressively from Hamilton into Turn 4.
The Dutchman appeared to run Hamilton off the track, ﷺwith both cars taking to the run-off area, allowing Verstappen to remain in the lead of the race.
