Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were summoned to the commissioners' room after the Austrian GP for irregularities in the closed park. All three were on the podium in this Sunday's race (10)
Just like race 2 of Formula 2, the Formula 1 Austrian GP is also far from over. That's because no less than three drivers who stood on the podium, Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, and Lewis Hamilton, were called to the FIA (International Automobile Federation) commissioners' room because of a probable irregularity in the closed parking lot.
The issue involves the drivers' physiotherapists, who usually accompany them after races, but are not allowed to interact with the drivers before the official weigh-in. The procedural note sent to the teams before the race even clarified the issue. "The drivers' physical therapists must wait outside the waiting room behind the podium until the podium ceremony is completed," the text reads.
None of the top three complied with the determination, which has been warned by the FIA for a while now. The trio, therefore, was summoned to the stewards' room and should receive some kind of punishment, although it is not known which would be applied, in this case.
