The second incident occurred at the end of Q1 when Verstappen was among a group of cars preparing for their laps in the final few corners as Logan Sargeant came through on a hot lap.Verstappen appeared to drive across the line of Sargeant, but the stewards decided it did not impact the Williams driver’s lap.”The driver of Car 1 stated that he was surrounded by many other cars on preparation laps, some of which chose to overtake him on the left and some on the right, and therefore he decided the safest option was for him to drive straight and keep the line, leaving a car width on his right,” the stewards said.”He stated he felt any movement to the left or right could have caused a collision with one of the cars around him. The stewards accept these statements.”The driver of Car 2 stated that he did not believe that the driver of Car 1 was at fault and that there was room for him to pass. We therefore determine that the driver of Car 1 did not unnecessarily impede Car 2.”The third occurred when Verstappen held up Yuki Tsunoda while the AlphaTauri driver was on a fast lap.The stewards issued a reprimand and also noted that AlphaTauri, which is owned by Red Bull, did not send a team representative to fight the case for a stricter stewards’ ruling.s
