Max Verstappen pushed Lewis Hamilton wide and off the track at the Brazilian Grand Prix without any penalties, but the FIA admitted they didn’t look at his onboard footage.
Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen went side-by-side on Turn 4 of Lap 48 of the Brazilian Grand Prix, when Verstappen went wide and pushed Hamilton off the track.
The stewards noted the incident, but later decided that no action will be taken against Verstappen. Race Director Michael Masi later admitted the stewards did not look at his onboard footage before making their decision.
Well the footage is here and while it shows that Verstappen did turn his wheel to (supposedly) make the corner, it is obvious that he could not, and he pushed Hamilton wide.
Now, it can be debated whether Verstappen did this on purpose, but it cannot be debated that them going wide and off the track was his fault, and after the incident he gained an unfair advantage, because had they not gone wide, he would have been overtaked by Hamilton.
You can make your own decision by looking at the footage below.
