MEXICO CITY -- After seeing Max Verstappen escape punishment for impeding Valtteri Bottas, Toto Wolff suggested Formula One's stewards have had a week to forget.
Verstappen's position on the front row was not confirmed until 90 minutes after the end of the session due to an investigation into an incident in the opening moments of Q3. The Red Bull driver had slowed dramatically on entry to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez's stadium section as Bottas approached on a flying lap, forcing the Finn to avoid his car.
Verstappen came into the weekend at the centre of attention after calling FIA steward Garry Connelly an "idiot" for the decision which demoted him off the podium at last week's U.
