Former Formula 1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has spoken out about the controversial incident between Max Verstappen and George Russell in the Spanish Grand Prix, claiming Russell deserved a penalty for his actions.

Villeneuve criticized the race stewards’ decisions in Spain, highlighting that Russell’s move on Verstappen should have been penalized. He pointed out that Russell made contact with Verstappen’s rear wheel, which, according to the regulations, should have resulted in a penalty for forcing a collision and pushing another driver off track.

The incident in question occurred during the restart after the safety car period, with Russell squeezing Verstappen off track in turn 1. While Verstappen’s subsequent move on Russell was penalized, Russell’s initial actions went unpunished, much to the dismay of Villeneuve.

The Canadian racing legend emphasized the importance of consistent application of the rules, stating, “If there are rules, they should apply to everyone. Russell deserved a penalty.”

Villeneuve also commented on Verstappen’s approach to racing, noting that the Dutch driver is aware he doesn’t have the fastest car and therefore pushes the limits to achieve results. However, he warned that this aggressive style could lead to errors that make Verstappen’s quest for the world title even more challenging.

As the Formula 1 season moves to Canada, the spotlight remains on the fallout from the Verstappen-Russell incident, with fans and experts alike dissecting the on-track drama and its implications for the championship battle.
