Formula One title rivals Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton both faced possible sanctions on Saturday after being accused of breaking the rules ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
On a day of drama in Brazil after qualifying for a Saturday sprint race that determines Sunday's starting grid, Mercedes driver Hamilton and then Red Bull's championship leader Verstappen caught the stewards' attention.
A statement then delivered another bombshell by summoning Verstappen and a team representative to a meeting at 0930 local time for an alleged breach of the international sporting code. Article 2.5.1 of the sporting code states that "no operation, checking, tuning or repair is allowed" in that secure area unless authorised by officials.Hamilton, 19 points adrift of Verstappen with four races remaining, already has a five-place grid penalty for Sunday's race after Mercedes changed the engine in his car.
Formula One technical delegate Jo Bauer reported the uppermost rear wing adjustable positions did not comply with the rules for a maximum distance of 85mm when the drag reduction system was deployed."A lot of the times we get it wrong, I get it wrong, and today I got it right and the car was really nice to drive. It was everything I wanted," he said."For me it’s not a big shock. I’m just happy to be second. That’s a good position to start from.
