Verstappen complained that the delay had allowed different drivers to demote him out of the highest 10.

“I discover it unbelievable,” Verstappen stated. “The automobile goes into the wall, damaged. It is clearly destroyed, however they wait 30-40 seconds and the others can full their lap instances and naturally those behind can’t.

“The automobile hits the wall, it must be a straight purple, I do not perceive why it must take 30, 40 seconds for the purple flag to come back out. It is so silly to speak about. It is ridiculous.”

In actual fact, a evaluation of the session suggests it didn’t make a distinction to Verstappen.

He was mendacity tenth when Stroll crashed, after a poor single lap following a restart after the red-flag interval for Sainz’s accident earlier within the session.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc crossed the road to bump Verstappen right down to eleventh simply two seconds later – nicely inside the regular margin for a yellow flag to develop into a purple after a heavy crash.
