Max Verstappen loses mind at F1 Spanish Grand Prix

简介：

There have been calls for Max Verstappen to be banned from Formula 1 racing after a mind‑blowing incident at the Spanish Grand Prix. Formula 1 has gone into a melt‑down after Verstappen escaped with just a 10‑second penalty for ramming into bitter rival George Russell during the race. Sunday night’s event exploded on Lap 63 at the Circuit de Barcelona‑Catalunya when Verstappen steered his Red Bull into Russell’s Mercedes as they battled for fourth position. Out in front, Aussie Oscar Piastri showed his class to win for the fifth time this season in yet another 1‑2 finish for McLaren, with teammate Lando Norris second and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc third. The fireworks between Russell and Verstappen had the Formula 1 world in a spin, especially after the reigning world champion had been seething in the laps leading up to the incident, following his team’s gamble to finish the race on hard tyres that blew up in their face.
