Max Verstappen is dangerously close to being handed a race following an incident with George Russell in Barcelona.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle has suggested Max Verstappen’s rivals should provoke the Red Bull driver into picking up extra penalty points as he sits perilously close to a race ban. Verstappen picked up three penalty points on his super licence after colliding with George Russell in the latter stages of the race. It places the Dutchman to within one point of being issued a race ban, with the next points dropping off his licence at the end of the month. Brundle believes his rivals should seek to get the four-time champion into further bother on the track. Verstappen has come under criticism in the past for his aggressive on-track tactics, but his aggressive driving style has also led to success in the past years.
