Asked what he thought Verstappen was trying to achieve in the manoeuvre at Barcelona’s Turn Five, Russell said: “I think he was trying to run me off the road, but I don’t think he was trying to intentionally crash into me.

Max Verstappen says that “frustration” led to his collision with George Russell during the Spanish Grand Prix and that the move “was not right and shouldn’t have happened”.

The incident happened during an extraordinary final five laps after a late safety car. Until then, Verstappen had been on course for a strong third place, after challenging the McLarens on a three-stop strategy, compared to their two.
