The lack of an investigation into the Verstappen/Hamilton incident in F1 sprint qualifying at the AustrianGP caused more than a few eyebrows to be raised ⬇️
The pair then accelerated onto the pit straight, where Hamilton began his flier and Verstappen finished his before the Red Bull then out-dragged and overtook the Mercedes approaching the first corner.
The result of the incident meant Hamilton did not have time to set another lap and he was subsequently knocked out in 18th, where he started the Red Bull Ring weekend’s first race, while Verstappen went through with the second-quickest Q1 time. Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing RB19Autosport asked both sides to explain the incident following Verstappen’s win in the sprint race from - a race in which Hamilton finished 10th - and contacted the FIA for an explanation of what happened.
Toto Wolff:"Yeah so I think the mistake happened on our side – communication between us and Lewis, didn’t give him the right information to get out of Max’s way. And I think no one wants to be in anybody’s way because if you impede, you’re getting penalised. So, that was not the aim. Then, at no stage in sprint qualifying did the FIA timing and information system announce that their driving had been noted by race control and so sent on to the stewards to assess whether it warranted a full investigation.
