Mercedes request right of review over Max Verstappen-Lewis Hamilton F1 battle in Sao Paulo GP

Mercedes have requested a right of review of the contentious Max Verstappen-Lewis Hamilton incident in the Sao Paulo GP as they cited new evidence – after new footage from on board the Red Bull was released.

In a statement released on Tuesday afternoon, F1’s world champions said they requested a right of review of the lap 48 incident at Interlagos “on the basis of new evidence unavailable to the stewards at the time of the decision”.

F1 Race Control ‘noted’ the near-miss between Verstappen and Hamilton at the time but chose not to launch a full in-race investigation after being satisfied with replays available to them at the time that the Red Bull driver, who was defending the lead, had done nothing wrong.

That footage was released on Tuesday and Mercedes initiated their right of review several hours later.

What now, and what could happen to Verstappen?

The stewards will hear from Mercedes to decide whether this new evidence is “significant and relevant” before deciding whether to re-examine their decision.

There is, of course, a chance they decide to stick with their previous verdict and not hear an appeal. Judging by previous incidents this season, the worst Verstappen should really expect is a five-second penalty.

But that in itself would be a possibly defining decision, and a hugely controversial one, as that would drop Verstappen behind Valtteri Bottas to third in the Brazil results, cutting his championship lead over Hamilton from 14 points to 11.

In that scenario, Red Bull would likely contest that Verstappen, who finished three seconds ahead of Bottas, could and would have driven faster if he knew he had a 5s penalty before the end of Sunday’s race.

There are three races left this season, in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi.

What has been said about the new footage?

Martin Brundle wrote in his Sky F1 column on Tuesday: “On viewing the onboard footage, it confirms that Max braked very late and was slow and limited with his turn-in point, but at no point did he open the steering wheel towards Lewis.

“It was totally on the limit and could have easily gone either way with the stewards. It warranted a driving-standards warning black and white flag at least.”

Sky F1’s Karun Chandhok meanwhile said he felt Verstappen deserved no more than a warning.
