Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has been summoned to the stewards just after the race for an ‘alleged breach of the FIA International sporting code’.
Earlier Horner is very vocal on FIA Stewards for handing five place grid penalty to Max Verstappen for ignoring double waved flag during Saturday’s qualifying session.
“I think it’s just a rogue marshal that’s stuck a flag out and he’s not been instructed to by the FIA,” he told Sky Sports F1. “They’ve got to have control of their marshals, it’s as simple as that because that’s a crucial blow in this world championship for us. Now starting P7 at a track you can’t overtake at, that is massive.”
The Red Bull boss called for changes to how F1’s warning flags are managed following the incident. “I think there needs to be some grown-ups making grown-up decisions,” he said. “Just having binary, somebody sticks a yellow flag out, it’s just frustrating.
“I think the race director should have control of the circuit. He’s the referee at the end of the day and otherwise anybody, you get a marshal that decides to stick a yellow flag out, how does that work?”
