🗣 'It's quite clear in the rules what you're allowed to do now on the outside.' Max Verstappen claims that Lewis Hamilton did not properly follow F1's driving conduct rules in their first-lap fight for position in the AustralianGP ⬇️
Then, as Hamilton got a run on him out of Turn 2, he was cautious under braking for Turn 3 and that allowed his Mercedes rival to get his nose inside.
"From my side, I just tried to avoid contact," said the Red Bull driver."It's quite clear in the rules what you're allowed to do now on the outside. Clearly, it's not followed, but that's okay. It said about cars going down the inside:"In order for a car being overtaken to be required to give sufficient room to an overtaking car, the overtaking car needs to have a significant portion of the car alongside the car being overtaken and the overtaking manoeuvre must be done in a safe and controlled manner while enabling the car to clearly remain within the limits of the track.
"We had a very poor start and then lap one I was careful because I had a lot to lose and they had a lot to win," he said.Verstappen said that the performance of his car had been good throughout the race, as he said his biggest problem was dealing with the"mess" of the FIA's red flags."We were always there waiting for the DRS to open up to have a chance to pass.
