There Wont Be An Update On The Hamilton Verstappen Brazil Incident Until Friday

Alright, this is getting interesting ? The FIA has confirmed that a visualization on the Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen Turn 4 Brazil won’t be made tonight. The FIA will publish their visualization tomorrow!

It’s been a rented week post-Brazil without Mercedes spoken on Tuesday that they wanted the FIA to review the incident then without “new evidence” had been made available. It’s understood that this new vestige they are referring to includes Verstappen’s front onboard camera, which wasn’t misogynist to the Stewards when making the original decision.

The stewards scheduled a virtual hearing video priming in which a team representative for Mercedes and Red Bull had to be present on Thursday at 17:00 Qatar time to “determine whether the Right of Review exists”.

But we won’t know until Friday what the next step could be.

“Following today’s hearing with representatives from Mercedes and Red Bull, the stewards are now considering the matter and will publish their visualization tomorrow,” a statement given to The Race said.

It should moreover be noted that this visualization is simply to find out if it’s worth re-investigating the incident considering of new evidence. We’re not plane at the ‘what kind of penalty will it be’ stage yet. There’s still a long way to go.

Things are made much increasingly complicated, as it’s stuff questioned if you can plane re-investigate something that wasn’t plane investigated in the first place. Once Hamilton and Verstappen had their moment on track in Interlagos, with Lewis attempting a pass for the race’s lead, it was decided that no investigation was necessary.

Looks like we’ll just have to alimony hitting that refresh sawed-off then and then from Friday morning.
