FIA explains why Leclerc was not penalised after Gasly crash

Charles Leclerc made a big mistake by colliding with Pierre Gasly on the first lap of the Styrian Grand Prix. This caused the AlphaTauri driver to puncture his tyre and after one lap it was the end of the race for Gasly. Why didn't Leclerc get a penalty for the incident?

In fact, there was no further investigation. Speaking to various media, Michael Masi explains why the stewards came to that decision. "It was deemed one of those that, being a first-lap type matter, and considering the whole situation, it was noted that no further investigation was necessary."

Stand for Verstappen

Other than that, it was a quiet Sunday afternoon for the race committee at the Red Bull Ring. Apart from some track limits, the stewards didn't really need to intervene on anything worth mentioning. Max Verstappen did get a reprimand from Masi in the evening for almost stopping on the straight after his win to celebrate with his team.

Next weekend there will be another race in Spielberg. The Red Bull Racing will again be the setting for what will be the ninth Grand Prix of the season.
