Whilst on the grid waiting for the lights to go out and start the Bahrain Grand Prix, Verstappen reported Norris on the radio to the Red Bull pitwall: "Lando is over his gridbox."
During the second lap of the race the incident was noted by the Stewards, and on lap 8 the Stewards came to the conclusion that Norris had indeed parked his car out of position, earning the McLaren driver a 5 second penalty.
