Overflowing security machine is prohibited. On June 16, stewards of the race will hold a meeting with Russell and representatives of Red Bull, analyzing the protest.
– We asked to consider two episodes. Firstly, the random movement behind the security machine, when George Russell sharply slowed down, obviously looking out for Max in the mirror. And secondly, the distance that was left behind the security machine clearly exceeded the permissible. I think that it was three times more than the laid, ”Christian Horner quotes RacingNews365.
As a result, Russell won the race, Verteppen finished the second.
