Max Verstappen and three other drivers face FIA scrutiny for potential Virtual Safety Car infringement at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen, along with three other drivers, has come under investigation by the FIA for a potential Virtual Safety Car infringement at the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The incident, which unfolded at the Baku City Circuit, involves an allegation of possible overtaking under VSC conditions after the chequered flag.Verstappen, who finished fifth in the race, firmly denies this, asserting that no overtaking took place under the VSC.
'I tried, at the start to get in front, but once I got out of DRS I didn't have the pace,' he said as reported by Newsweek Sports. 'After the stop, I saw we were pretty close again.'I felt like we had a bit of extra grip and thought we had to go for it because I thought I'd never get past otherwise.'His bold strategy paid off, leading to a nail-biting 35 laps as he held the lead under considerable pressure.
