Vettel added: “I haven’t spoken to him yet. But those things are never-ending discussions, but let’s see what happens.” It's not a personal thing but certain things, at least in my feeling, were not correct if you have to slow down or brake under full speed.

I think as drivers we always discussed it and it’s a bit up and down and I think that could be improved. Raikkonen said he thought the rules of engagement were already unambiguous: “I think it’s quite clear what they are and obviously sometimes you feel it’s not correct what happens on circuit but obviously I think the biggest problem is it’s not always the same. Several other drivers feel there are two points at issue here: respect, and whether Verstappen - as some pundits suggested - really did what he did in Belgium as payback for the first-corner incident which ruined all three drivers’ races. It is understood that the FIA’s view - shared by the stewards who included drivers Danny Sullivan and Felipe Giaffone - is that the Dutchman was just about within the rules by making his single move at the very last second in response to the Finn’s, rather than making his tactics clear with a single move and waiting to see how Raikkonen responded.

Verstappen and Red Bull team manager Jonathan Wheatley met with Whiting on Friday morning in Italy to discuss the limits of acceptable behaviour. The most-talked-about incident came as Verstappen aggressively blocked Raikkonen’s attack going up to the hill at Kemmel, which prompted the latter to describe the former’s defending as “******* ridiculous,” and to predict that soon he will cause “a massive accident.”
