F1 needs to put Verstappen in his place
Despite again raising the ire of Kimi Raikkonen, Max Verstappen's tactics during the Belgian Grand Prix were not scrutinised by stewards. But is this setting a dangerous precedent for a rising star, and other drivers?

This latest controversy follows a heated battle during July's Hungarian GP, where Verstappen twice made late defensive moves that caught Raikkonen out. In each case officials have seen no reason to act, yet Verstappen's actions have provoked criticism from his rivals.
