Max Verstappen lived his madness day in the GP of Spain

He got angry with Red Bull for the end of the end, threw an auth to George Russell, was penalized and barely rescued a point.

If after the start someone risked to predict that Max Verstappen would end the GP of Spain in the tenth place, sanctioned, to the auths and the screams by radio with the team they would have told him that he was crazy. The Dutch had a great pique to take advantage of the bad start of Lando Norris and be second. Then, of course, the potential and rhythm of the McLaren is impossible for the Red Bull and the rest of the grill, but third place was in the Dutch bag. However, everything was twisted after the security car appeared on the track, ten turns from the end, for the abandonment of Kimi Antonelli.

There began the tetracampeon pandemon. He was called by the team to boxes to change tires and put him hard. Hard! No one had used that compound throughout the race. So that! “What are these tires that put me?!”, Bramó Verstappen by radio. “It is the only option we had,” his engineer replied. Of course, once the race resumed, it became a very simple dam for the rivals that surrounded him with the soft compound.

When the green came out, Charles Leclerc was overcome (second podium in a row for Monegasco after the second place achieved in the career of his house). As they followed the complaints on the radio, George Russell came on him and there it went crazy. He went to the limit to avoid the overcoming of Mercedes’s English and had to go outside the track. Thus he kept the position, but the arrows tried again and the champion, put an autazo! Incredible. For that maneuver he was sanctioned with ten seconds of penalty that sent him straight to the tenth place.

In the press conference they asked Max if his maneuver had been intentional: “Does it matter?” He replied. He added: “I think I prefer to talk about the career than at one time.” To close with a: “George should have received a sanction for that, it was clear.”

Russell also had his point of view: “It surprised me as much as you. It seemed deliberate at that time, so it was a bit surprising. It is not for me to comment on the punishments, I will not give it any importance. Max is an incredible pilot and many people admire him; It is a pity that things are still happening. ”

Verstappen, on his day of madness, lost 24 points with respect to Piastri, was 49 and his illusion of pentacampeonato begins to travel a complex path.
