George Russell recently criticized the mentality of an unnamed British Formula E driver, widely believed to be Dan Ticktum, following his controversial clash with Max Verstappen at the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix. The incident took place on Lap 64 at Turn 5, where Verstappen made contact with Russell’s sidepod. Russell described the move as “very deliberate,” while Verstappen later expressed regret for the incident. The debate sparked speculation about Ticktum due to his past, including a ban for reckless driving in an earlier racing series.
