V♐erstappen was given the first punishment from the FIA for causing a collision with Piastri on the first lap.

Both ౠthe Red Bull and the McLaren spun on the first corner when they made conta🦋ct.

"Move of a world champion, t🌠hat," Pi꧋astri said via team radio after pitting.

Ma🍃rtin Brundle’s verd🌄ict for Sky Sports was: "Max didn't really need to do that.

"It's so unfair of Max. They are not in the championship. He's won his 𒅌championship.

"To put such a risky move?🌞 I know it's the first lap of a grand prix, there waℱs a gap. Piastri, would he know he would lunge like that?

"It just wasn't necessary and hasn't done Vers⭕tappen any good either."

McLaren CEO Zaꦓk Brown said: "The penalty is appropriate. He wasn't fully alongside him.

“⭕Now we are focusing on reco༒very and Lando is looking good up front.”

Brown saidౠ about his nerves: "It hasn't hꦉelped, that's for sure."

Piastri was♊ then hit with a 10-second time penalty too, for causing the contact which gave Franco Colapinto’s Williams a punctured tyre.

Verstappen was restricted to finishing sixth in Abu Dhabi, while Piastri ❀was 10th. Piastri's teammate Lando Norris won the grand prix, and McLaren w𓃲on the constructors' title.
