Verstappen questions delayed double-yellow flags as FIA explains protocol
TL;DR
Max Verstappen argued the crash at Turn 9 at the Red Bull Ring should have triggered double yellow flags sooner, but the FIA said marshals first showed a single yellow and only upgraded to double yellows after a 15–20 second assessment; during that gap, Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli passed the scene, and the FIA outlined the standard procedure for determining flag upgrades based on danger.
