Internet reacts: "Fine Verstappen only 0.0017 percent of salary"
- GPblog.com
Max Verstappen got away with a fine. He escaped a grid penalty and of course the internet has something to say about that. Of course, the fine is quite high for a simple offense, on the other hand Verstappen will not feel it very much in his wallet.
Did the maths, if we calculate his fine to a percentage of his income, it's 0.0017%, when you put this to average UK wage (31000 approx), Verstappen has been fined 52 great British pounds /p>— Dan (@Vipstappen) Nov 13, 2021
Only a 50k fine for Verstappen?

They're gna do Hamilton so dirty man
"The stewards also examined a fan video taken from across the track" I think Verstappen is very happy with brasilian fans

Max Verstappen received a €50 000 fine or in other words Max receives no penalty

Could the Verstappen fine be harsher? Yes of course but that's my Hamilton fan head talking.

I think what would have toned it down is when Seb inspected the Mercs in a previous year so there may have been an argument as to where the line is on things. #F1 #BrazilianGP
Just to put Max Verstappen's fine into context: If Forbes' report of his pay this year ($42m) is correct, that €50k fine is 0.5 days' income. #bbcf1

Not very often I defend Max Verstappen but a 50k fine for doing something most of the others do is a bit excessive… #F1

Dietrich Mateschitz seen searching under couch cushions to pay for Max Verstappen's fine. #F1 #BrazilGP
The FIA really spent almost 24 hours looking into a penalty for Verstappen only for it to be a petty 50k fine #F1
