On Sunday night, X user @VerstappenJet posted activity from Verstappen's private jet.
Verstappen awaiting possible Russell penalty
As Verstappen is leaving now, this means he is not waiting for the stewards' judgment. Red Bull Racing submitted two protests against George Russell for his behaviour under the safety car.
The meeting with the stewards went on for over 45 minutes. Afterwards, the two were seen leaving the steward's room, together.

If Russell is given a penalty, this may open up a chance for Verstappen to win the Canadian Grand Prix.
