After several hours of discussions between the people of the FIA, it was decided Max Ferstappen to start from seventh place in the standings at the Qatar GP, after accepting five-place penalty because he violated the double yellow flag!
Of course something like that will give him Lewis Hamilton the opportunity to gain a huge lead for the victory, with Pierre Gasley to start second and the magical Fernando Alonso who fights it with all his might, to be in third place.
For exactly the same reason, he was punished Valteri Botas with a penalty of three positions, but the Finn did not eat such a heavy bell since at the time he committed the offense there was only a yellow flag.
