Max Verstappen has snapped back at continued questions over a potential race ban given his penalty points situation after he was beaten to pole position in Canada by George Russell

After taking pole position at the Canadian Grand Prix, George Russell outlined why he might have an advantage Sunday

After their wildly controversial coming together in Barcelona two weekends ago, all eyes will be on George Russell and Max Verstappen when they start alongside each other on the front row of Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix.

The feud between George Russell and four-time reigning Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen could continue at the Canadian Grand Prix after the two locked up the front row in qualifying.

The FIA hit the Red Bull star and four-time world champion with a 10-second penalty in the race, followed by three penalty points on his super license. That means Verstappen enters the Canadian Grand Prix with 11 points total on his super license in total. F1's rules dictate 12 penalty points in a 12-month period trigger a one-race suspension.

Max Verstappen took issue with a question about his penalty points at the Canadian Grand Prix, describing the discourse as ‘childish’ and stating that he was ‘p***ed off’ by the comments. The Dutchman is one point away from a ban and won’t drop any from his FIA super license until July.

Max Verstappen arrived at the Canadian Grand Prix a single point away from a one-race suspension following his collision with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Derek Warwick, the former Formula One driver, has been suspended from his role as a steward at this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix after making “unauthorised media comments” about Max Verstappen.
