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.

Formula 1's governing body, the FIA, received complaints from Red Bull, who claimed Russell was 'driving erratically' and showed 'unsportsmanlike behaviour'. However, the protest was dismissed after both drivers were summoned to the stewards, meaning Russell kept his victory.

Mercedes Formula One boss Toto Wolff has dismissed Red Bull's failed protest of George Russell's Canadian Grand Prix win as petty and embarrassing.

Max Verstappen’s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, proved that she is his biggest supporter despite missing out on the top step of the podium at the Canadian Grand Prix. In the recently concluded Formula One race in Montreal, the Oracle Red Bull racing driver fell short after finishing in second place behind George Russell of the Mercedes team.
