F1 stewards were wrong not to hand Max Verstappen a penalty in the Hungarian Grand Prix for colliding with Lewis Hamilton, according to RacingNews365 readers. 

On lap 63 of 70 at the Hungaroring, Verstappen attempted to out-brake Hamilton for third place having tried to "rescue" himself after Red Bull's strategy had dropped him to fifth late on. 

However, he misjudged his braking, locked-up and collided with the left-front of Hamilton, tipping the RB20 into the air. 

The incident was placed under investigation for causing a collision, but the stewards opted to take no further action, with Verstappen finishing fifth. 

In their verdict, the stewards found that "the driver of Car 44 [Hamilton] could have done more to avoid the collision."

After the decision, RacingNews365 simply asked readers if the stewards were right not to penalise the Dutchman. 

The verdict was clear, with the results below.
