F1 stewards side with Max Verstappen after George Russell incident at Spanish GP
At the Spanish Grand Prix, race stewards supported Max Verstappen’s concerns over a collision with George Russell, despite conflicting messages from Red Bull during the race. Verstappen received a late penalty, dropping him to 10th place, and he expressed indifference to whether the crash was intentional. Stewards clarified that Verstappen was not required to yield to Russell, as it was his corner, and no further action was taken. The penalty dealt a blow to Verstappen’s championship standing and accumulated penalty points on his superlicence. Post-race frustrations may lead Verstappen to reassess his team’s strategy in future races.
