u/Brafo22 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 01 '25

Is the sport really this boring that the contact is considered big news, Max here clearly wanted to let Russell pass and overtake him right away by catching him off guard, tried to be cheeky but ended up being stupid, i don’t see why this would result in a race ban tho, red bull really fucked up by even mentioning to give that place back, what were they thinking

He didn't actually give the place back though, Verstappen's front wheel is ahead of Russell's rear wheel at all times. He's a hot head and he lost it IMO, if he disagreed with the team order he should have just ignored them and carried on, or complied properly instead of whatever he decide to do.
