In a shocking turn of events, George Russell sheds light on the controversial Red Bull protest after the Canadian Grand Prix. The young driver expressed his belief that Max Verstappen was not even aware of the protest filed by Red Bull against him. Russell’s victory in Montreal was clouded by Red Bull’s accusations of erratic driving to induce a penalty on Verstappen.
The post-race drama unfolded after a late-race incident between Russell and Verstappen under a Safety Car situation. Despite Red Bull’s efforts to challenge Russell’s win, the stewards dismissed the protest, leaving many questioning the true motives behind it. Russell, in a surprising twist, suggested that the protest was not aimed at contesting his victory but rather at protecting Verstappen from potential penalties.

Russell’s fearless approach to racing against Verstappen, known for his aggressive driving style, has intensified their rivalry on the track. However, Russell remains focused on his goals and team, emphasizing his determination to stand his ground against formidable opponents like Verstappen.
The ongoing saga between Russell and Verstappen continues to captivate Formula 1 fans worldwide, with each race adding a new chapter to their fierce competition.
