Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton have both been summoned to see the Formula 1 stewards after the Hungarian Grand Prix. An incident between them during the race, which saw the Red Bull racer overtake his Ferrari rival, is under investigation.
It happened on lap 29 of the Budapest race when Verstappen lunged up the inside of Hamilton at turn four. There did not seem to be any contact made, but the Ferrari was forced to take evasive action and went off track.
Verstappen emerged from that skirmish ahead on track, but the incident was noted by race control. And it was soon confirmed that the matter would be investigated once the Grand Prix had concluded.

Both Verstappen and Hamilton have now been summoned to the stewards to give their takes on what happened. Verstappen is the one at risk of a penalty if it is decided that he illegally forced another driver off track in the process of that overtake.
Verstappen finished the race ninth, scoring just two points for his Red Bull team, but that result is only provisional for now with the four-time F1 champion now at the mercy of the stewards. Hamilton finished 12th and one lap down to cap a miserable weekend after he declared himself "useless" following a difficult qualifying.
