Hulkenberg summoned over Verstappen incident in Dutch practice

The incident happened in the early stages of the second practice session at Zandvoort.

Nico Hulkenberg has been summoned by Formula 1 stewards over an incident involving Max Verstappen in Dutch Grand Prix practice. During the second session at Zandvoort, Verstappen was on a flying lap in the RB19, but was navigating traffic through the final sector of the lap. Hulkenberg was one of those cars ahead of Verstappen about to start a timed lap, but slowed to create a gap to the McLaren of Lando Norris. In doing so, Verstappen, who was approaching at full speed, was forced to slam on the brakes to avoid rear-ending the Haas. As a result of the incident, Hulkenberg and the Haas team representative have been summoned to see the stewards at 17:30 local time - half an hour after the end of FP2. Verstappen and the Red Bull team representative have also been requested to see the stewards.
