Scuderia Toro Rosso’s Max Verstappen has been handed a five
place grid penalty and two penalty points on his Super licence after it was
found the Dutch teenager had caused the Turn 1 accident with the Lotus F1 Team’s
Romain Grosjean.
Verstappen’s car ended up buried in the TechPro barrier and
it took the marshals a while to get the car out of the barrier. The accident
brought out the safety car which ended resulted in the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1
Team pitting Lewis Hamilton and in doing so handed victory to Nico Rosberg.
Verstappen will start
the Canadian Grand Prix five places back from where he qualifies following the
accident but the teenager is aiming to bounce back from the difficult race in Monaco
having seen his team mate Carlos Sainz come from a pit-lane start to finish in
the points in 10th place which is an incredible achievement anywhere
but particularly around the unforgiving street circuit of Monte Carlo.
