The FIA has officially released its decision regarding Max Verstappen’s controversial incident during the Japanese Grand Prix, bringing clarity to a situation that sparked widespread debate among fans and pundits.
The incident occurred during the early stages of the race when Verstappen, while defending his position, made contact with another driver, leading to a brief off-track excursion and concerns over whether his actions breached racing regulations. Following a detailed review of the footage and team radio communications, the FIA concluded that Verstappen’s move, while aggressive, did not warrant a time penalty.
In a statement, the FIA said, “After thorough analysis, the stewards determined that while the maneuver was on the limit, it remained within the bounds of acceptable racing conduct. No further action will be taken.”
Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner expressed relief at the verdict, stating, “We’re pleased with the FIA’s objective assessment. Max was racing hard, and that’s what fans want to see.”
However, not everyone was satisfied. The rival team involved in the incident expressed disappointment, suggesting that the FIA’s leniency might set a dangerous precedent for future races.
Despite the controversy, Verstappen went on to finish the race in a strong position, further cementing his standing in the championship battle. With the FIA’s ruling now official, focus turns to the upcoming races, where tensions are expected to remain high as the title fight intensifies.
The Japanese Grand Prix once again delivered high drama, both on and off the track.
