Verstappen’s robust defence against Hamilton at Interlagos on Lap 48 was initially noted by race director Michael Masi, but it wasn’t referr♌ed to the stewards for a full iꩲnvestigation.

After the race, it was revealed that the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:FIA didn’t have full access to a front-facꩲing camera on Verstappen’s Red Bull meaning it couldn’t ass🍨ess the incident properly.

On Tuesday, footage from Verstappen’s car was finally released by F1 on its various digital platforms leading 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes to announce later tha🍎t day that it would be formally requesting a review of the incident.

A hearing is set to take place at 5pm local time (2pm GMT) with a Mercedes representative along with th꧋ree witnesses summoned to the 💜video meeting.

Ahead of this weekend’s Qa꧅tar Grand Prix, Alonso was asked t🌺o give his view on the incident between F1’s two title rivals.

Despite🎃 still not seeing Verstappen’s defensive manoeuvre, Alonso suspects the stewards will not budge on their initial opinion.

“I𝓀 came from Brazil straight here and I was in the gym and on the beach all these days so I had no opportunity [to watch the incident],” Alonso said in the p🏅re-race press conference.

“Even if I look honestly, I know that here there is hearing or something today. I will not have an opinion because it’s very different from time to time and I don’t know exactly what happened. I guess it will be an incident that is from the past race, nothing sh𒊎ould happen now. I don’t know exactly if it was too bad.

“The🐭 stewards, they considered that it was no penalty there, it will not be a penalty I guess now.”

As it stands, Verstappen has a 14-point gap 🐭over Hamilton with three rounds remaini🀅ng.
