The FIA and teams have agreed that only time penalties will now be used to punish unsafe pit-stops after criticism following the German Grand Prix.

At Hockenheim, Ferrari was given a fine for releasing Charles Leclerc into the path of Romain Grosjean during the chaos as drivers dashed into the pits for slicks in changing conditions.

However, this caused particularly upset at Red Bull as a five-second penalty given to Max Verstappen in Monaco for the same offence cost the Dutchman a place on the podium. 

“It’s completely wrong,” Max told Motorsport Week in Hungary on Thursday “If you get a fine, everybody will do it. I think it’s not fair.

“To say they gave me the penalty purely because we touched, I think that is also not fair, you’re still releasing the car knowing there is a car in the fast lane.”

Also infuriating Verstappen was the size of the fine Red Bull received.

“I think they have spoken in the managers meeting about it. Let’s see what they are going to do about it now," he continued, referring to the meeting which led to the later decision.

“How big was the fine? 5,000? That’s peanuts for a team. They really don’t care to pay that.

“I think it’s completely wrong to do that, especially if you talk about safety, it’s not correct.”
