Max Verstappen only had a brief visit to race control. The Dutchman paid a brief visit to the race officials regarding a possible infringement yesterday, leaving the stewards to look into the matter further.

The Red Bull Racing driver touched the rear wing of his rival Lewis Hamilton after qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix. This is against the rules, so he risks a penalty. He was due to report to race control at 10:30am, but they were therefore quick to finish their call. "I can't say anything about it now, we'll see," Verstappen stated to the press as he stepped outside.
