In a thrilling turn of events, the aftermath of the Montreal Grand Prix sees George Russell accusing Red Bull of filing a protest merely as a shield to protect Max Verstappen from potential penalties. The Mercedes star, riding high on his recent victory, suggests that the protest was a preemptive strike by Red Bull, speculating that it was a strategic move in case Verstappen faced repercussions for overtaking under Safety Car conditions.

Addressing the media at the Red Bull Ring, Russell responded to the protest, which had been criticized by his team principal Toto Wolff as “petty and mean.” While Russell was less harsh in his assessment, he hinted at Red Bull’s motives, insinuating that the team’s actions were aimed at safeguarding themselves in case Verstappen was penalized for his on-track maneuvers.

Furthermore, reflecting on his intense battles with Verstappen over the past year, Russell emphasized his determination to match the aggression of the four-time world champion. He asserted his readiness to go head-to-head with elite competitors like Verstappen, underscoring his focus on his own performance and team objectives.

Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in the world of Formula 1, where every move and decision can make or break a driver’s championship aspirations.
