Esteban Gutierrez will take a five-place 🎉grid penalty coming into qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix after he was involved in another controversial 'blocking' incident during third practi💖ce at Spa-Francorchamps.

The Mexican received criticism from Lewis Hamilton and then Daniel Ricciardo for his conduct when being lapped during the Hungarian Grand Prix and the German Grand Prix respectively, though the Haas driver iღnsisted his actions weren't intentional.

However, Gutierrez ran into yet more controversy in FP3 at Spa after being caught by a full speed Pascal Wehrlein while touring on the racing line at the top of 🔯Eau Rouge, for🍨cing the Manor driver to the grass at Radillon as they entered the Kemmel Straight.

The near miss prompte🐬d the German to lash out at Gutierrez on the team radio, and the FIA quickly confirmed that the incident was under investigation.

It took a while before the fiveꦯ-place penalty was handed down, along with the addition of three points on Gutierrez's licence, but the Mexican joins Lewis Hamilton, ꦛFernando Alonso and Marcus Ericsson (all mechanically-related) in taking penalties before qualifying.

On this occasion, however, the stewa🍰rds decided that tﷺhere was no case to answer, allowing K-Mag to take up his earned grid slot.
