Canadian GP: George Russell keeps winning the race after Red Ball’s refusal against Mercedes driver F1 news

George Russell maintained his victory in the Canadian Canadian award after the referees refused to protest against Red Ball against Mercedes’s driver.

Russell defeated Max Versaben to win the Sunday race to score the first Mercedes victory for this season.

But after two hours of the volatile flag, Red Bull appeared, the result was challenged by offering two protests about the British driving behind the safety car late in the race.

Red Bull claimed that Russell had broke the regulations by driving wrongly in front of Verstapen and committed a sport -like behavior before, from their point of view, in an attempt to punish his opponent.

However, after summoning drivers and representatives from both teams and reviewing data and video guides during the investigation it conducted on Sunday evening, the Montreal LeVers team ultimately threw the Red Bull case after nearly six hours of Rusell’s volatile flag.

In the document that confirms their decision, the referees said: “We accept the CAR 63 explanation driver of the accident and we are convinced that the Car 63 driver did not drive wrongly by braking as he did or to the extent that he did.

“We are not satisfied that once his team was reported, the car 1 exceeded that he participated in the behavior of the non -athlete.

“Although the protest did not claim it, we are also satisfied that by braking where and when he did, and as much as he did, the Car 63 driver did not participate in a non -sporting behavior.”

The protest was the last development in a series of controversial events that involve VerstapPen and Russell.

The Red Bull driver was punished for causing a collision with Russell in the previous round of the 2025 season in Spain, where the accident got three points of Verstaben’s penalty that left him on the brink of the race ban in Canada, and he will continue to do it in the next round in Austria before some points abandoned.

After beating Versaben to the pole on Saturday in Montreal, Russell suggested that he had an advantage over his opponent due to the position of penalty points.

Versappen said that he was “Pi ** ED Off” in the comment “Childish” on his position after a period of post -rehabilitation press conference.

The husband also participated in an extraordinary war of words in the conclusion of last year’s season after the Verstapen was punished for an accident that included a messenger in the previous round in Qatar.

Red Ball launched a protest against Russell earlier this season in Miami after the British ended a place against Versaben in third place in the major prize race in Miami. The claim was rejected that Russell had failed to slow enough under the yellow flags.

Horner explains Red Paul’s protest

“We protested against the referees, and we asked them to take a look at them.

First, with regard to irregular driving behind the safety car, as George has been beaten, he is clearly looking at his mirror for Max.

Then, the second is the distance that was left behind the safety car that was more surplus, I think at least three times than the permissible distance.

“It is 2000 euros per protest, and we were surprised that they did not notice and sent them to the rulers, so you have the right as a competitor to do so, and this is what we chose to do.”

There was no specific male in the referees document to claim Russell, leaving a large gap of the safety car.

“George suddenly separated strongly,” said Verstapen on Red Bull Radio in Lural 68.

Talk to Sky SPORTS F1 After that, Verstapen said: “I think we were trying to say to the safety car to accelerate because he was only 120 km per hour, but I think he might have been doing it to give more time to get a racing roll.

“So George was trying to accelerate the safety car and I was trying to do the same. Once, try to accelerate the safety car that fell and caused some confusion.”
