MAX VERSTAPPEN has blasted the stewards’ decision not to penalise Lewis Hamilton after their collision on Lap one. Hamilton got off to a flying start to leapfrog pole-sitter Verstappen into the first corner at the Yas Marina Circuit. But the title-chasing Dutchman launched an offensive and forced Hamilton wide heading into a corner whilst keeping himself on the track. Hamilton was forced to take a detour and continued in a straight line, skipping a corner. A decision was made not to investigate the incident, or force Hamilton to eliminate some of the advantage gained for the cut corner, infuriating Red Bull.
