I read he's also been given 2 penalty points too.

He's now blaming the incidents on his car being too slow.

Where did you read regarding points deduction? I can't find anything on Sky Sports F1 or formula1.com

Oops. He did take the lead. Not a good day at the office to say the least.

It's the only source I have so maybe it's not accurate.

Why don't formula1.com have a dedicated web page where all penalty points are detailed

Max Verstappen hit with five-place grid penalty in Brazil

https://www.thetimes.com/article/603...b06e89029dcc6b

Max Verstappen has been hit with a five-place grid penalty at this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix after Red Bull changed his power unit for the sixth time this season.

In Mexico last weekend he missed valuable practice sessions after an intake air circuit leakage could not be rectified, eliminating another engine from his “pool” — the amount allocated for the season. Using an older engine during the grand prix meant Verstappen’s Red Bull was one of the slowest in the straights, as Helmut Marko, the special adviser to the team, mentioned after the race.

The Interlagos circuit, which favours overtaking, is perhaps the best place for Verstappen to take his five-place penalty. It is hoped the rest of the engine components will not need to be replaced, so further penalties will be avoided. At Spa this season he took a ten-place grid penalty for fitting his fifth internal combustion unit of the year — this time he will face only half the sanction because it is the second occasion he has passed the season limit of four. The five places will be added to his qualifying result on Saturday, rather than affecting the sprint race.

You get a penalty for changing a faulty engine ? F1 is so weird.

You're allowed 4 ICE per season, if you have to go over that you get a penalty, I think it's to do with the cost cap, basically new engines will give greater performance.

Well they gifted him the win (again), by bring out the red flag just after Mclaren bring their guys in.

There was some gap between those that pitted and the red flag.

It's not that difficult driving a car. Piss easy round a racing track. They want to try the M60 round Manchester in rush hour, see who's best then.
