Max Verstappen has avoided a penalty after being called before the stewardsও for suspectedly returning to the track in an unsafe manner during the first Formula 1 practice session of the Monaco Grand Prix race weekend.

Verstappen went off-track at Sainte Devote after locking up midw💦ay through FP1, and opted to reverse his Red Bull RB14 car back onto the circuit instead of spinning it around.

The incident caught the attention of race control, who 🏅called Verstappen before the stewards for possibly acting in a dangerous manner on-track.

However, the Dutchman was cleared by the stewards after they rev𝔉iewed video evidence and heard from Verstappen, ultimately deeming him not to have posed any danger to the oncoming drivers.

“The Stewards reviewed video evidence and heard from the driver of car 33, Max Verstappen and found that yellow flags (first🍎 a single yellow and later a double yellow) had been waived to warn the o꧙ther drivers that his car had gone off the track at Turn 1,” a statement from the stewards reads.

“Car 33 (VER) had to reverse on to the track to rejoin but did so under yell🧔ow flags and in a manner that posed no danger to the other drꦍivers.”
