Max Verstappen has escaped a penalty for turning up late to the FIA press conference at the F1 Austrian Grand Prix.
Verstappen was investigated for the unusual breach of regulations before the on-track action had even begun, but the FIA confirmed on Friday morning that the Red Bull driver would not be penalised.
"The Stewards conclude that the driver and the team took every reasonable measure given the circumstances and therefore impose no penalty despite technically the regulations have been breached.” The three-time world champion has been heavily-linked with a switch to rivals Mercedes following Toto Wolff’s very public courting of the Dutchman.
