Overview

• Both Verstappen and Hamilton are summoned to the Hungaroring stewards at 3:42 pm to determine if Verstappen breached the International Sporting Code by crowding Hamilton off track.
• On Lap 29 at high-speed Turn 4, Verstappen drew alongside Hamilton, prompting the seven-time champion to use the asphalt runoff to avoid a potential collision.
• Verstappen has publicly denied any contact or wrongdoing and questioned why the post-race investigation was necessary.
• The International Sporting Code forbids deliberate crowding beyond track limits and assigns superlicense penalty points that can lead to an automatic race ban at 12 points.
• Verstappen’s ninth-place finish and two provisional points remain in limbo pending the stewards’ verdict, which could also affect his championship tally.
