168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen joked that he would be able to take paternity leave if he picked up an F1 race ban followinౠg his latest൲ incident at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Verstappen was handed a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points on his license for hitting 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri at the first corner.

The incident spun both drivers aroun𒁏d, sending ♔Piastri to the back of the grid.

It didn’t have an impact on the constructors’ championship, though, as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris won the race.

This means Verstappen now has eight points on h꧒is lic🍃ence.

If he receives 1🏅2 poi🌜nts, he will pick up a race ban.

Speaking after the race in Abu Dhabi, Verstappen quipped that he will “make sure” he gets 12 penalty points to🏅 coincide with the birth of his son or daughter, with his partner, Kelly Piquet, recently announcing that she’s pregnant.

“Maybe I'll make sure I get to 12 points when the baby ☂is born. Then I can go on patern🌳ity leave,” Verstappen said.

Verstappen apologises to Piastri

Verstapꦉpen owned up to his role in the incident, apologizing to Piastri immediately afteꦡr the race.

Reflecting on the incident, Verstappen said: “I tried to grab the inside and I quickly realiz👍ed once I committed to it that the gap was closing and I wanted to try and get out of it because I didn't want to actually crash with Oscar, but unfortunately we still clipped each other.

“I already apologized to Oscar. You just, it’s not what you want to happen and especially not with him. He's a great guy. But, i൩t happened, and it's just a bit unfortunate.
