Max Verstappen is after the celebration of GP of Styria had to defend the Commissioners. The reason was the way he greeted his mechanics after crossing the finish line. That's when it happened Verstappen practically stopped and then with “Burnout” started again.
The race management, of course, did not like such a celebration. "It was not a good situation. So I immediately talked to the team and told them that we would not allow anything like that in the future, ” said the race director Michael Massi. Verstappen there is no need to fear punishment for his act for the time being.
Commissioners estimated that such a celebration was potentially dangerous as Williams is the driver Nicholas latifi crossed the finish line soon after Verstappen. It was all reminiscent of a scene from a formula Renault 3.5 from 2015. At that time, the former Formula 1 driver Roberto Merhi at the same point after the target slowed sharply. The driver behind him recognized the danger too late, crashing into it at full speed Merhi's race car and rolled over.
Ironically, the said driver was right Nicholas latifi, who found himself in a similar situation this time as well. Marhi was then disqualified for the said incident and was not allowed to take part in the second race at Red Bull Ring.
