FIA stewards accused of Verstappen penalty bias

Former Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve has accused the FIA’s stewards of bias when administering penalties, especially in regards to Red Bull star Max Verstappen.

Verstappen was handed a 10-second time penalty during the Miami Grand Prix sprint for a pit lane collision with Kimi Antonelli, which saw him drop to last place where he lost out on crucial points.

The Dutchman could only manage fourth place in Sunday’s race, losing the lead to Oscar Piastri after he overtook the champion on Lap 14 and maintained position to take his third consecutive victory.
