Red Bull alleged that the Mercedes driver had driven erratically behind Safety Car and displayed unsportsmanlike behavior.

After a hearing involving both teams, Russell, Verstappen, and the FIA, the stewards found the protest admissible but ultimately dismissed it, saying the protest was “not founded.”

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes the team is well-equipped to cope in the event Max Verstappen teeters over the edge with an extra penalty point at the Canadian Grand Prix
