Max Verstappen’s hopes to defend his F1 title have taken a massive blow following a dramatic clash with rookie Kimi Antonelli at the Austrian Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver was forced to retire on the first lap after being taken out by the Mercedes driver.

Antonelli’s lockup under braking caused chaos at Turn 3, leading to a collision with Verstappen that ended both of their races prematurely. Verstappen expressed his frustration on the team radio, calling the incident a “crazy hit” caused by “f*****g idiots.”

With championship rivals Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri leading the race, Verstappen could find himself trailing by up to 69 points in the standings. Despite the setback, Verstappen can breathe a sigh of relief as the collision was not his fault, sparing him from incurring license penalty points that could have resulted in a race ban.

As Verstappen navigates the aftermath of this dramatic collision, the F1 title race has taken another unexpected turn, leaving fans on the edge of their seats as the drama unfolds on the track.
