“Verstappen is the best driver on the track, with the best racecraft and judgement, but there is always a story with him.”
Former F1 steward Johnny Herbert and Nico Rosberg both believe that Max Verstappen should have been black-flagged following his collision with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix. Verstappen deliberately collided with Russell after being instructed to give back the position he gained during their battle at Turn 1. Rosberg, who was commentating for Sky Sports, called for Verstappen’s disqualification, emphasizing the seriousness of the incident. Despite receiving a 10-second time penalty, Herbert argues that a black flag should have been considered to deter such aggressive driving tactics. Herbert stresses the need for stricter penalties to discourage dangerous on-track behavior and maintain the integrity of the sport.
