Max Verstappen was part of a controversial incident with George Russell in the closing stages of the Spanish Grand Prix.
Former F1 steward Johnny Herbert believes Max Verstappen should have been disqualified from the results after the incident with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix. Herbert stated that Verstappen should have received a black flag for his actions on track. The incident occurred during a safety car restart when Russell attacked Verstappen, causing him to run wide in Turn 1. Although Red Bull instructed Verstappen to let Russell pass, the stewards deemed that Verstappen did not gain an advantage by going off track. Verstappen was issued a 10-second time penalty, dropping him to 10th place, but Herbert felt a more severe penalty was warranted. Herbert criticized Verstappen for his move on Russell, claiming it was intentional and crossed a line in terms of fair racing.
