Max Verstappen has expressed his disappointment with the delay in displaying double yellow flags after his crash during a recent session at the Red Bull Ring.

Per Autosport, Verstappen believes that his crash in one of the fastest sections of the track should have triggered double yellow flags immediately, citing the high speed of the sector as a major concern.

The FIA has responded to Verstappen's concerns, providing an explanation for the delay, as reported by Motorsport.com. The governing body's response has shed light on the procedures in place for displaying warning flags.

For Indian fans, this incident highlights the importance of safety protocols in Formula 1, and the ongoing efforts to improve them. The discussion around flag procedures is a reminder of the complex systems in place to protect drivers.
