Max Verstappen’s clash with George Russell at the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix places him just one penalty point away from a potential race ban. Despite the looming threat, former F1 racer Johnny Herbert believes this won’t affect Verstappen’s aggressive racing style. Verstappen incurred a 10-second time penalty and three penalty points, bringing his total to 11 for the year following the incident. The punishment pushed him to 10th place in the Spanish GP and raised the stakes for future races where one more misstep could lead to a ban. Herbert acknowledges the pressure on Verstappen but thinks the Dutch driver’s approach won’t change significantly in the face of the penalty point situation.
