In a dramatic turn during sprint qualifying at the Miami Grand Prix, three-time world champion Max Verstappen finds himself under scrutiny from the FIA following an on-track clash with a rival driver. The incident, which occurred in the final stages of the session, saw Verstappen and the other car make contact while battling for position, raising questions about driving standards and potential rule violations.
Sources inside the paddock report that the stewards have launched an investigation into whether Verstappen’s aggressive maneuver breached sporting regulations. If found guilty, Verstappen could face grid penalties or even points deductions, which would significantly impact his championship campaign.
The Red Bull driver has been dominant this season, but tensions have been simmering as rivals push back against his on-track aggression. In a post-session interview, Verstappen defended his actions, saying, “We were both fighting hard that’s racing. I didn’t do anything unfair.”
However, not everyone agrees. Several teams have reportedly lodged formal complaints, arguing that Verstappen’s move was “dangerous” and set a bad precedent. FIA race officials are expected to review video footage, telemetry data, and team radio transcripts before making a decision.
This potential penalty comes at a critical time, with Verstappen aiming to extend his lead in the drivers’ championship. Fans and analysts alike are now waiting anxiously for the FIA’s verdict, which could reshape the competitive landscape heading into Sunday’s main race.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops.
