A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
During the qualifying session for the Dutch Grand Prix, Max Verstappen was able to finish P3 behind both McLaren drivers, Oscar Piastri on pole and Lando Norris in P2. That result, however, may not stand at all.
After the qualifying session had ended it was revealed that Verstappen would have to pay the Stewards a visit. It appears that the Dutchman has some explaining to do.
Why the Stewards have summoned Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen has been called to the stewards for allegedly driving unnecessarily slowly during qualifying.
What the risks are for Verstappen should be minimal since these offences, even when proven to have occurred, carry only minor penalties.

The meeting in the Stewards' room is yet to take place, and it is understood it will happen any minute now.
