Verstappen Drops to Tenth After Spain GP Collision

Max Verstappen admitted fault for his collision with George Russell during the Spanish Grand Prix, describing his move as 'not right and shouldn't have happened.' The incident resulted in Verstappen receiving a 10-second penalty and three penalty points, which dropped him from fifth to tenth place and left him just one point away from a race ban. George Russell was surprised by Verstappen's public admission but appreciated the accountability and felt the penalty was fair, noting the incident ultimately benefited him. The clash has sparked debate about Verstappen's aggressive driving style, with Russell stating that a future ban would be justified if reckless behavior continues, though he doubts Verstappen will change his approach. Both drivers have since moved on, having met at the airport without further discussion. The focus now shifts to the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix as both aim to move past the episode.
