Verstappen to stewards in Japan; pole position in jeopardy

Max Verstappen may have to hand in his pole position. The Red Bull Racing driver has to go to the stewards to explain his near-touché with Lando Norris in Q3.

Verstappen said he wanted to accelerate to get more temperature in his cold tyres. It caused quite a moment for Verstappen, so at the stewards, the world champion may go and explain exactly what happened and why.

At 17:00 local time, Verstappen is expected at the stewards' office. A verdict will follow after that.
