Max Verstappen appeared to ‘ignore’ a Formula 1 tradition during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix podium ceremony.
The four-time world champion was left seething after he was handed a 5-second penalty for an incident with Oscar Piastri.
Immediately after the lights went out, Verstappen and Piastri headed into the first corner neck and neck.
Verstappen had to take action as he went wide and off the track before regaining first position when he rejoined the action.
As a result, the stewards deemed Verstappen at fault and handed him a penalty for ‘leaving the track and gaining an advantage’.
After the race, during the podium ceremony, it is tradition for the drivers to spray champagne in celebration.
However, a video instantly went viral on social media as it showed Verstappen simply taking a sip of his bottle of champagne (sparkling rose water due to Saudi Arabian rules) while the others were spraying eachother.
