Red Bull boss Christian Horner dismissed Nico Rosberg’s call for Max Verstappen to be disqualified from the F1 Spanish Grand Prix as “sensationalist.” Verstappen received a 10-second time penalty for a collision with George Russell, which dropped him to 10th place from fifth. The incident occurred after Verstappen was forced off track by Russell and later retaliated with a controversial move. Critics, including Rosberg, called for severe penalties, but Horner downplayed the situation, questioning Rosberg’s commentary style. Verstappen, on the other hand, remained unfazed by the criticism, stating that everyone is entitled to their opinions. Verstappen’s penalty points now total 11, nearing an automatic race ban, so he must maintain a clean record in the upcoming Austrian and Canadian Grands Prix.
