FIA summon Verstappen after provocative comments, in risk of losing Mexico pole!

Although the FIA initially stated no investigation would be necessary regarding Max Verstappen not lifting when driving past the crashed Valtteri Bottas, the Dutchman has now been summoned to the stewards following his comments after the incident.

Verstappen already had provisional pole and improved on it in the final run of Q3, although he drove past the wreckage of Bottas when doing so. Although many thought not lifting by itself was worthy of a punishment, the FIA did not deem it necessary to launch an investigation, and Verstappen kept his pole position.

However, after qualifying in the press conference, the 22-year-old cheekily revealed he was aware of Bottas' wreckage and still didn't lift, which has turned the heads of the FIA.

They have now communicated they will summon Verstappen at 16.10 local time, or 22.10 British time. Could he be losing his pole position after all?
