In the end, things went well and the FIA ​​Race Commissioners did not attach any importance to this incident. Verstappen has already said: "I saw how he gives in," he describes in an interview with "ServusTV". "So I thought to myself: 'S' he's closing the door, I'll just push him off the track!"

These statements are courageous for the one already included in the FIA ​​"Watch List". As much as Verstappen did not hide that he had let it touch the touch: "We've touched it, maybe it was Brazil's revenge. it's been raining – it was good! "

Red Bull Motorsport consultant Helmut Marko continues to defend Verstappen and considers Ocon rather responsible: "It was found that Ocon also had problems with other drivers, so he might be able to look at the TV commentator from another angle next year. " he criticizes "auto motor und sport".

By the way, the "social service" that Verstappen must do after his fight with Ocon at the Brazilian Grand Prix remains uncertain. The FIA ​​had sentenced him for the emotional outbursts that followed the two-day run of "detention" in the service of the association.

Verstappen apparently would not have been worried about it. The two days must be completed within six months, he reveals. And he has already informed his team: "I will not make a monkey!" Because: "I do not think it's fair to have both days."

"I have no problem helping kids go karting or anything like that, I like going there someday, but I'm sure not to mow lawns or pick up trash – you have to that it is something relevant, "says Verstappen.

However, the fact that the FIA ​​sweeps the cobblestones of the Place de la Concorde in Paris as petty criminals in American films is anyway unlikely. Verstappen is more likely to use his celebrities for two days for a major FIA program, such as the Action for Road Safety, a central issue of FIA President Jean Todt.
