Summary
No further action taken against Max Verstappen after he slowed significantly in Turn 12 to express frustration at being impeded by Carlos Sainz.
Explanation
The stewards reviewed evidence from both drivers, including video, telemetry, and team radio. Verstappen moved off the racing line to avoid Sainz, who had slowed unexpectedly, then slowed significantly at Turn 12 and gesticulated in frustration. Sainz confirmed he was not affected, and no other cars were involved, so the stewards took no further action.
