Formula 1 travels to Brazil this weekend to finish the penultimate Grand Prix of the season. At the Austrian formation, the Brazilian race weekend is causing flashbacks to last season, when Max Verstappen was given a penalty by race control.

With four races to go, the pressure was firmly on Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton at the time. When the Dutchman touched his rival's car after qualifying, race officials decided to watch the moment and fine Verstappen €50,000.

Red Bull reminder of moment

Although Verstappen already won his second world title in Japan, Red Bull hopes to secure a victory with the driver in Brazil. On social media, the Austrians are referencing the moment, with a clear message for Verstappen.

The team looks back on the moment with a wink, stating in the message that Verstappen is "allowed to look at the competition's car, but not touch it". Red Bull therefore seems confident that Verstappen has learnt from the moment.
