Max Verstappen must keep his nose clean throughout the Canadian Grand Prix weekend or threaten inducing a home race “catastrophe” for Red Bull.
Helmut Marko expressed concern over the possibility of Max Verstappen being banned for the Austrian Grand Prix, Red Bull’s home race.
Verstappen is close to a suspension after accumulating 11 penalty points in a 12-month period, with the incident involving George Russell being the latest.
Despite the tension, Marko doesn’t anticipate Verstappen missing any on-track action, but he must proceed carefully in the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix.
Verstappen will have two penalty points removed after the Red Bull Ring race, but the next deduction won’t occur until October.
Marko highlighted the series of events that led to the clash with Russell, emphasizing the need for Verstappen to avoid reckless behavior in upcoming races.
While a ban for the Austrian Grand Prix would be a catastrophe, Marko remains optimistic that Verstappen will steer clear of further penalties and potential suspensions.
