P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Max Verstappen is just one penalty point away from being handed an automatic race ban.
Alex Wurz, the Chairman of the grand prix drivers’ association, has urged Max Verstappen to race cleanly in Canada to avoid a potential ban for Red Bull’s home race in Austria. Verstappen accumulated three more penalty points on his super licence after the collision with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix, bringing his total to 11 in the last 12 months, with one more point leading to a race ban. Two points will be removed from Verstappen’s licence after the Austrian Grand Prix on June 30. Verstappen has been successful at the event in Spielberg, Red Bull’s home race, in the past, with Wurz expressing the importance of seeing him there. Despite the situation, Wurz believes that Verstappen is capable of handling such challenges and hopes for a trouble-free race in Montreal to ensure his participation in the upcoming race in Austria.
