Damon Hill believes the decision to let Max Verstappen off in regards to his controversial battle against Lewis Hamilton at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix will have a huge affect on how drivers now race in Formula One.
After new evidence emerged of the Dutchman appearing to force his chief title rival off the circuit while defending the lead at Interlagos, the race stewards rejected a review request from Mercedes having initially branded the move on lap 48 as a 'racing incident'.
Many drivers, fans and pundits were split over the incident. Some saw Verstappen's actions as deliberate with his car having been nowhere near the apex of the corner, as he also went off the track to defend from Hamilton who had to take evasive action around the outside.
