Max Verstappen is on the verge of a F1 race ban after his manoeuvre on George Russell in the Spanish GP saw him handed three penalty points.
Max Verstappen is close to receiving a Formula 1 race ban due to receiving three penalty points for his move on George Russell in the Spanish Grand Prix.
During the race in Barcelona, Verstappen was told by his team to give back fourth place to Russell, but instead appeared to turn into him.
After a mistake exiting the final corner, Verstappen lost positions to Leclerc and Russell, leading to contact between Verstappen and Leclerc.
He now has a total of 11 penalty points, with just one more needed for a race suspension, the first of which came from a clash with Norris at last year’s Austrian Grand Prix.
