Race winner Esteban Ocon is amongst five drivers called up to see the stewards following the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Alpine driver is under investigation for a post-race infringement after he failed to enter the pitlane following the slow down lap. Instead the Frenchman drove down the start/finish straight and parked at the pit exit before sprinting to the podium.

Sebastian Vettel, Carlos Sainz, Valtteri Bottas and Lance Stroll are also under investigation, but for a pre-race infringement.

The four drivers, two of which retired from the race, were alleged to have failed to follow the race directors pre-race procedure during the national anthem, as they were still wearing their ‘We Race As One’ shirts. Vettel wore a rainbow ‘Same Love’ shirt in protest at Hungary’s anti-LGTBQ+ law.

The regulations state that drivers must remove their t-shirts and attend the national anthem performance “wearing their race suits”.

Upon hearing the reason for being summoned, Vettel said: “They can disqualify me. They can do what they want. I’d do it again.”

It’s likely all five drivers will face reprimands or financial penalties, rather than race penalties.

    Here’s an idea – if someone doesn’t like the laws in a specific country that they are visiting, then don’t go. Keep politics out of Formula 1, especially the George Soros kind.
