Red Bull’s F1 Rivals Accused of Trying to Get Verstappen Banned

In a shocking turn of events, Red Bull has brought forward accusations against its Formula 1 rivals for attempting to bait Max Verstappen into a race ban. The team disclosed that it had a conversation with Formula 1 race director Rui Marques before the Canadian Grand Prix, expressing concerns that competitors would try to provoke Verstappen into committing an offense that could lead to him being sidelined from a race.

With Verstappen just one penalty point away from facing a race ban, Red Bull’s fears were justified, leading them to seek assurance from Marques following the drivers’ briefing in Montreal. The team wanted to ensure that Verstappen would not fall victim to any underhanded tactics orchestrated by other drivers.

Red Bull’s Team Principal, Christian Horner, shed light on the situation, underscoring the need to address potential gamesmanship aimed at Verstappen. Horner emphasized the team’s commitment to fair play, stating that despite concerns raised by rival drivers, Verstappen had maintained a clean record throughout the weekend.

The catalyst for Red Bull’s discussion with Marques stemmed from comments made by rival drivers insinuating the possibility of Verstappen facing a ban in Montreal. These remarks, particularly those made by George Russell, who had clashed with Verstappen in Spain, heightened tensions leading up to the Grand Prix.

Russell’s post-qualifying statements further fueled the controversy, with Red Bull interpreting his words as a deliberate attempt to unsettle Verstappen. Despite Red Bull’s protest against Russell, the FIA stewards concluded that there was insufficient evidence to suggest any unsportsmanlike behavior on Russell’s part.

This clash between Red Bull and Russell is not an isolated incident, as the team had previously lodged a protest against the driver during the Miami Grand Prix. Despite these confrontations, Horner maintained that the protests were not personal vendettas but rather a response to alleged breaches of regulations.

The ongoing rivalry between Russell and Verstappen has intensified, with Red Bull adamant about upholding the integrity of the sport. As tensions continue to simmer within the F1 paddock, the spotlight remains on the battle for supremacy both on and off the track.
