Ferrari Formula 1 team principal Mattia Binotto believes Max Verstappen is in line for a post-race penalty after𓆏 an incident with Charles Leclerc during the Austrian Grand Prix.

Erstwhile leader Leclerc clashed with Verstappen at Turn 🌸3 as the pair duelled it out for the lead, after Verstappen had dived up the inside of the corner.

Verstappen and Leclerc brushed wheels at the apex o🌞f the corner, sending🌄 Leclerc wide and off-track, while the Red Bull driver assumed the lead and went on to claim victory.

The incident is under investigation and both drivers have been summoned to see the stewards at 1800 lo🔯cal time (1700 BST).

Speaking about the incident to Sky Sports, Binotto said: “Firstly it was a great race oဣf Verstappen no doubt, a great race of Leclerc.

“It has been a fantastic fight on track but𝕴 the regulations and rules are clear for the moment, and I think it’s not a matter after Canada that we should change the approach.

“The regulation is causing a collision or forcing 𝔉a car off track, I think both of the s♕ituations are there.

“It’s under investigation and we are confident of the result, it’s a shame somehow for the podium, but we trust the work ꦆof the stewards.”

While Binotto felt the racing was ultimately fair and re⭕ckons it would be a shame to ruin the spectacle of the race wit🅷h a post-race penalty, he believes the nature of the regulations makes it clear that Verstappen should be penalised.

"We should let them race,” he explained. “It’s something that we need to change for the future aജnd I appreciate that and we all agree on that.

“But as a matter of the current regulations, t𒁃🍬hey do not permit such an action. We wait for the stewards decision.”

Asked if only clea𝓀n DRS-assisted passes are now acceptable, Binotto replied: “At the moment it’s like that.”
