Hulkenberg and Verstappen summoned by the race stewards
The German Haas driver is summoned by the stewards after impeding Verstappen who was on a timed lap during FP2.
Nico Hülkenberg has been summoned by the Formula 1 stewards for an incident that occurred with Max Verstappen during the second practice session of the Dutch Grand Prix.
At the beginning of this FP2 in Zandvoort, Verstappen was in the middle of completing a lap in his RB19, but he got caught in traffic in the last sector. Ahead of him, the German driver from Haas was about to start a timed lap. However, approaching the penultimate corner, he braked to give himself space behind the McLaren of Oscar Piastri who was ahead of him.
Behind, Max Verstappen, who was arriving at a very high speed, was forced to brake abruptly and swerve, avoiding a collision between the two men. The championship leader even expressed his discontent on his radio.
As a reminder, “Hulk” had a off-track moment earlier in the day on the same turn, causing a red flag and the premature end of the first practice session.
Following this incident, Nico Hülkenberg and the Haas team representative were summoned by the stewards at 5:30 PM local time, half an hour after the end of FP2.
Verstappen and the representative of the Red Bull team have also been invited.
