Verstappen has been slapped with a three-place grid penalty for the Russian Grand Prix as a result of his role in the crash, after stewards deemed him to be “predominantly at fault for the incident”.
The official conclusion from the investigation said Hamilton “could have steered further from the kerb to avoid the incident”, though the Mercedes driver will face no penalty for his role in the crash.
Racing driver Nicky Catsburg said drivers tend to push an opponent to the outside of the track when going around a corner while alongside one another, but argued this should not be legal.
The Dutch driver said on Ziggo Sport’s Formula 1 Café: “You do that because you can get away with it. I actually think we shouldn’t get away with it.
“What Lewis did to Max at Monza, that really shouldn’t be allowed. He just doesn’t give him any space.
“Nine times out of ten Lewis will take the easy way out, like in Imola and Barcelona, but Max is not like that. He lets him stand and then you’re up against each other.”

“We don’t want to have situations in the future where the only way of stopping the other one scoring is just by taking them out.
“So both of them need to leave space for each other, race each other hard but avoid accidents because it was good fun until now.
“We have seen a halo that saved Lewis’ life and Max had this heavy impact at Silverstone. We don’t want to come to the situation to intervene when somebody gets really hurt.”
