Red Bull summoned by stewards after US Grand Prix
Red Bull have been called to appear before the stewards after today’s United States Grand Prix.
The reason? “Failure to follow the instructions of relevant officials.”
The Austrian team must report to the stewards at 4:30 p.m. local time (11:30 p.m. in the UK) to explain what happened and tell their side of the story.
This investigation comes right after a race that Red Bull completely dominated, with Max Verstappen grabbing a crucial win in his championship battle against the McLaren drivers.
Verstappen untouchable at COTA as title fight heats up
Verstappen controlled the United States Grand Prix from start to finish.
The Dutchman never looked troubled as he secured 25 vital points and took full advantage of Oscar Piastri‘s disappointing weekend. The young Australian could only manage fifth place after already losing ground in Saturday’s Sprint.
Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc fought an intense battle for second place that lasted most of the race. The McLaren driver eventually came out on top thanks to fresher tires in the final laps.
Lewis Hamilton finished fourth after a solid drive.
