Max Verstappen has received a five-second time penalty for the incident with Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages of the race.

The Dutchman wanted to pass Hamilton, after the drivers went wide when Hamilton tried to overtake the Dutchman. However, Hamilton did not see this coming and slammed into the back of Verstappen.
