Red Bull’s Shocking Revelation to FIA: Verstappen Targeted by Rivals in Canada
In a stunning turn of events, Red Bull Racing raised concerns with the FIA ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix regarding potential foul play aimed at their star driver, Max Verstappen. Team principal Christian Horner disclosed that they suspected Verstappen’s rivals of trying to manipulate him into a scenario that could lead to a race ban.
Verstappen, the four-time F1 world champion, entered the Montreal race weekend with 11 penalty points on his super license, putting him dangerously close to the threshold of 12 points, which would trigger an automatic suspension. The Dutch driver had amassed these points following a clash with Mercedes’ George Russell during the Spanish Grand Prix.
The revelation of Red Bull’s preemptive action sheds light on the intense competition and strategic mind games that unfold behind the scenes in the high-stakes world of Formula 1. With Verstappen being a key contender in the championship battle, the lengths to which rival teams might go to gain an advantage are now coming to the forefront.
As the drama continues to unfold on and off the track, the FIA’s role in ensuring fair play and sportsmanship in the sport has never been more crucial. Stay tuned as the rivalry between teams intensifies, and the quest for the F1 crown reaches its boiling point.
