Max Verstappen joked that the stewards of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix can treat themselves to dinner and several bottles of expensive wine after they fined him €50,000 for touching Lewis Hamilton's car in parc ferme after Friday qualifying.
Verstappen was caught inspecting the rear wing of Hamilton's car immediately after the session, which the stewards determined was a breach of the International Sporting Code (ISC). Only track officials and members of the FIA are allowed to touch the cars while they are in parc ferme conditions, in order to avoid drivers or team members altering the state of the car.
