Should Max Verstappen have been disqualified from the Spanish GP? Our writers have their say
Max Verstappen’s clash with George Russell dominated the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix headlines, resulting in Verstappen receiving a 10-second penalty and three penalty points.
The penalty pushed Verstappen to 10th place in the race standings, and he is now near a race ban with 11 accumulated points in a 12-month period, with his next points to expire after the Austrian GP in June.
Opinions are divided on whether the penalty was just for Verstappen’s actions during the race incident.
Some argue that Verstappen was let off lightly, emphasizing the need for top drivers to set a good example, given the risks involved in such collisions.
On the other hand, some believe a harsher time penalty might have been more appropriate, considering the potential dangers and implications of such actions on the track.
