F1 stewards admit in hindsight, Max Verstappen's impeding reprimand in Singapore should have been a grid penalty.
The FIA have reportedly accepted Max Verstappen should have been penalised for blocking in qualifying in Singapore with motorsport’s governing body making it clear to the teams that his reprimand cannot be used as a precedent going forward.
One related to being slow to leave the pits and holding up his rivals while the other two were for impeding, one of which appeared to be a slam dunk case involving Yuki Tsunoda.And yet the stewards, mitigating that Red Bull hadn’t given the driver enough information over the radio,were perplexed with even Verstappen conceding he had blocked Tsunoda.
“And then I didn’t get a call-up until he was basically behind me. It basically sums up my qualifying, it was just super hectic and messy.”
