Lewis Hamilton must answer to the stewards. The seven-time world champion impeded Sergio Perez during qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix, much to the Mexican's displeasure. At 17:00 local time, Hamilton may answer to the stewards at Zandvoort.

Will Hamilton get a grid penalty for the Dutch GP?

"What the f*** is this idiot doing?" shouted Perez furiously over his team radio. "I well out of his way," said Hamilton immediately afterwards. Still, that was not enough for the FIA and they called Hamilton to report to the stewards.

Hamilton already experienced a difficult qualifying session in Zandvoort. The Briton was eliminated in Q2 as he finished the session in P12.
