GRAND PRIX
FIA announce Verstappen penalty verdict after pivotal Hungary incident
The FIA have announced their decision regarding an incident involving Max Verstappen at the start of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Verstappen started the race in P3 behind the McLaren’s of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri after a difficult qualifying session – and the world champion would endure further misery later in the race after tangling with Lewis Hamilton, which the FIA took action over.
As the lights went out the top drivers were desperate to get into the lead with them going three abreast into Turn 1.

It was Piastri who emerged ahead and took the lead of the grand prix, after Verstappen attempted an overtake around the outside but ran wide and went off the track.
