Nico Rosberg’s take on the race-defining moment between Max Verstappen and George Russell.
Nico Rosberg expressed his belief that Max Verstappen should have received a black flag for his aggressive driving against George Russell towards the end of the Spanish Grand Prix. Verstappen, instructed by Red Bull to let Russell pass after running wide and gaining an advantage, initially complied but then seemed to speed up again, resulting in contact between the two. Despite eventually giving way to Russell and receiving a time penalty, Rosberg felt the penalty was too lenient and that Verstappen’s actions were dangerous. Rosberg also attributed blame to Russell for the incident, claiming he oversteered and tapped into Verstappen, prompting the Dutch driver to take the escape road. Overall, Rosberg maintained his stance that the situation was caused by a combination of errors from both drivers and the teams involved.
