Everything was fine, it was a great race, there was some great action but just then the news came out of stewards investigating Max Verstappen's overtake on Charles Leclerc. Both drivers had their own opinion on this as Charles said Max didn't leave him enough room while Max put it down to hard racing. The problem though was this situation turning into another case of stewards interfering with the result on track.

With the hoax of a result and the aftermatch at Canadian GP still fresh in the minds of many, if this was going to be another such penalty, then a race which is heralded by many as the best for a long time might just have marred with controversy. In some ways, it shows that F1 is learning as it didn't shoot itself in the foot yet again.
