Max Verstappen had to deal with two penalties in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. In total, the 24-year-old Dutchman had fifteen seconds added to his race time for the incidents. Red Bull Racing has decided not to appeal the stewards' decision, however, although they will undoubtedly disagree.
This is according to De Telegraaf on Monday. On the circuit of Jeddah, he first got a five-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. After the race, it was announced that Verstappen is also considered guilty for the braking incident with Lewis Hamilton. He was given another ten seconds for that.
Red Bull is not going to appeal against these two cases and the teams will move on to the final Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi.
