It is possible the FIA stewards will look into the issue which could see Verstappen haded a penalty. Drivers impeding others has been a major issue all weekend with Hamilton summoned to the stewards himself yesterday.
No further action was taken after Hamilton was involved in an incident with Lance Stroll and Charles Leclerc in FP2. In his pre-event notes, race director Nicholas Wittich warned drivers not to go too slowly when on the track.
He said: “In order to ensure that cars are not driven unnecessarily slowly on in laps during and after the end of qualifying or during reconnaissance laps when the pit exit is opened for the race, drivers must stay below the maximum time set by the FIA between the Safety Car lines shown on the pit lane map.”
