Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc were all summoned to the stewards after the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday evening. The top three drivers are being investigated after the race at the Red Bull Ring for alleged rule breaches while in parc ferme.
The summons relate to breaking an International Sporting Code article in the FIA rule book that states: “Failure to follow the instructions of the relevant officials for the safe and orderly conduct of the Event.”
Hamilton, Verstappen and Leclerc are believed to have interacted with their physios while in parc ferme before they were weighed. Teams were recently warned that doing so is a breach of the rules.
If the trio are punished it is expected that they will only be fined. Leclerc won the race in Spielberg, sealing his first victory since April to cut Verstappen’s lead in the Drivers’ Championship.
The Dutch championship leader finished second courtesy of Carlos Sainz’s engine failure with 14 laps to go, that led to a spectacular but worrying car fire. And Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton completed the top three with a third successive podium.
