Red Bull have been accused of “kindergarten” behaviour for protesting George Russell in Canada.
Former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya criticized Red Bull for their “kindergarten” behavior in protesting the Canadian Grand Prix result. The stewards dismissed Red Bull’s protest against George Russell, as they claimed he displayed unsportsmanlike intent during a late-race Safety Car incident. Montoya believes that if Russell intentionally stopped the car, it should have been looked into, but found Red Bull’s approach unnecessary. Mercedes’ Toto Wolff called Red Bull’s protest “petty” and “embarrassing”. Montoya also thinks Verstappen’s performance is affected by the race ban threat hanging over him, as he is on the brink of a suspension due to penalty points. Despite showing control in Canada, Montoya suggests that the looming ban pressure may have influenced Verstappen’s driving mindset.
