FIA Open to Investigating Allegedly Intentional F1 Monaco Crash

Moreover Mercedes driver George Russell getting his maiden Grand Prix victory, Components 1’s largest story after the São Paulo Grand Prix was the intra-team drama at Crimson Bull Racing. Within the last lap of the race, Max Verstappen, who had already secured the 2022 World Championship, determined to disobey staff orders to let teammate Sergio Pérez move and safe a second-place within the standings, citing he “had his causes.” That rumored reasoning for his insubordination, is why the FIA, says it’s now open to investigating a potential intentional crash in Monaco, Motorsport.com reviews. 

Rumor within the F1 paddocks has it that Verstappen didn’t yield his place as a result of the Mexican driver deliberately crashed throughout Monaco Grand Prix qualifying, which secured Pérez third on the grid. The Dutch World Champion was driving on tempo for pole place, however Pérez’s crash precipitated a pink flag, ending the session. Verstappen began the race fourth, and Pérez went on to win the race.

Crimson Bull Racing, Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez deny this rumor behind the disobeyed staff order. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem says the physique would look into the matter if an F1 staff recordsdata a proper grievance.

Ben Sulayem said:

“I didn’t have anybody who mentioned we need to examine it from our aspect. But when there’s something to be investigated, we’re very happy. One factor actually I’d say, I’m not shy or afraid of conducting or going into it if there is a matter. I can’t disguise. I shall be even elevating my hand and saying [if] there is a matter with the FIA. In any other case, if I can not do that, you’ll by no means enhance and by no means evolve. That I can assure.”

Whereas any staff might file a grievance, one thing of that nature would usually come from the staff most aggrieved by the incident — and that staff can be Crimson Bull. If Pérez did deliberately crash, it solely considerably impacted his personal squad and Max Verstappen. It’s uncertain that the Mexican driver deliberately crashed for third place on the grid.
