Max Verstappen at risk of F1 race BAN after Spanish Grand Prix drama

Max Verstappen, Red Bull, FIA, Imola, 2025

Max Verstappen has placed himself at further risk of a Formula 1 race ban after a controversial incident with a rival at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Three penalty points were added to Verstappen's FIA super licence after he slammed into the side of George Russell's Mercedes in Barcelona.

Neither was taken out of the race by the incident, or even lost a spot on track, crossing the finish line in fourth and fifth. However, Verstappen was demoted to tenth by race stewards, given a 10-second penalty for causing a collision.

That penalty, and the three penalty points he was handed after the race, mean that a single penalty point next time out in Canada, or during the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, would see him pass the 12-point limit and be suspended for a race.

Verstappen's already slim chances of challenging for the drivers' championship were torn to shreds this weekend, not only by his one-point haul in Barcelona but also the lack of impact of a new technical directive about front wing flexibility – which rivals had hoped would stymie the dominance of McLaren. It did not.
