 | George Russell: I don`t expect an apology from Verstappen19-04-2026 |
Russell is not expecting an apology from Verstappen. Mercedes driver George Russell said that he does not need an apology from Max Verstappen for the collision at the Spanish Grand Prix.
According to Russell, Verstappen only harmed himself, as he received a penalty and lost his place on the podium.
If Max scores 12 penalty points, then the disqualification will not be unfair. After all, that`s what the penalty point system is for. If you continue to make reckless maneuvers and accumulate penalty points, you will accumulate penalty points and eventually be disqualified for one race. In this case, everything is in the hands of the rider.
In that situation, Max tried to push me off the track. I don`t think he was trying to intentionally bump into me. He wanted to scare me, but he miscalculated. Again, I could not be scared because of this, this maneuver rather surprised me.
And I don`t expect an apology from Max. His actions cost him dearly, but they worked to my advantage. So I should rather thank him.
Although it is clear that if he had knocked me off the track, I would have had a completely different opinion. But it was nice to see him take responsibility. His actions surprised me a little, ” Russell said.
