On Sunday, at the Grand Prix of Spain, Ferstappen received a 10 -second penalty and three penalty points in a super -licenten for a collision with Russell during the race. The Dutch pilot finished the fifth, but sank to 10th place because of the fine, Russell became the fourth.

– I was as surprised as you guys. I saw such maneuvers earlier in simulators and in the picture, but never in Formula 1.

As a result, I took fourth place, and he became the tenth. I really don’t know what he had on his mind. At that moment it looked intentional, so it was unexpected. We are trying to make our car faster. The departure of the security machine changed the balance of power. Stewards should decide whether it was deliberate.

Max is an amazing racer, and many people look at him with admiration. It is a pity that such things continue to happen. This seems completely unnecessary and, it seems, never brings him benefit, – quotes Russell Sky Sport.
