Sky Sports F1 pundit Anthony Davidson has described168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen’s collision with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell during the Spanish Grand Pri🥀x as “intentional,” following their dramatic clash in the closing ꦉstages of the race.

The controversial incident occurred w🧔hen Vers๊tappen slowed on the exit of Turn 4 after Red Bull incorrectly told him to give the position back.

Russell never got fully ahead, and Verstappen maintained the position while carrying excessive speed into Turn 5, resulting in contact with the🌳 Mercedes driver.

Verstappen was ha🅺nded a 10-second time penalty as a re🌌sult, with three penalty points.

Verstappen is now just ✅one penalty point away from re🔯ceiving a one-race ban.

16🥃8澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Verstappen was defiant after the race, statꦗing: “In life you shouldn’t regrꦜet too many things, you only live once.”

However, on Monday morning, the four-time wor💞ld champion took to his Instagram account to deliver a more measured response.

Verstappen wrote: “Our tyre choice to the end and some moves after the safety car restart fuelled my frustration, leading to a move that was not right and ☂shouldn’t have happened.”

Davidson, who is Sky Sports F1’s TV 🦋analyst, was adamant the move was deliberate.

Analysing the incident withꦡ Russell, Davidson said: “On the exit of Turn 4, he clearly slows down and is allowing Russell to overtake but he doesn’t actually overtake him. There’s never a moment where Russell is fully ahead of him. Heꦅ’s not letting him by.

“He decides ‘no, I’m not going to let him by at all’ carries such excessive speed into the corner and he’s not out of control when doing this and divebombs into the corner, hits the Mercedes hard. It’s almost as if it’s a retaliation for what he thought happene🅺d at Turn 1.

“George is very quick on the radio button. I𒐪mmediately on the radio button, saying ‘what on earth is that’. I don’t like to see that - whether the blood is boiling or not.

“I think it’s intentio🌸nal. And I💎 don’t like to see that. Everything up until that point, I can’t blame him for but that, 100 per cent, yes.”

Red Bull’s crucial error

Verstappen’s m👍ain source of frustration stems from being told to give the place back 🏅to Russell.

Verstappen🗹 was forced off by Russell at Turn 1, but Red Bull felt they had to give Russell the position to avoid a penalty.

After the race, it transpi▨red that the stewards would have taken no action had Verstappen not given the place back.

Sky Sports pundit Bernie Collins explain🐎ed that Red Bull’s instruction would have been a collective decision rather than one made by his race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase.

“We hear the notification from GP [Gianpiero Lambiase] to say ‘give the position back’ but we don’t know wh🎶ere that comes from,” Collins added.

“W🐼e don’t know if Red Bull had a conversation with the FIA about how the♍y view it. There will be a team at Red Bull back in Milton Keynes going through the onboards and making a decision.”
