Old rivalry renewed in Spain
It is not the first time that we have seen Max Verstappen and George Russell beef on the racing circuit.
Today those moments were repeated, because the couple had a few coming meetings that ended in the Red Bull driver who refused to let the Mercedes through, despite his team’s request.
Lando Norris was asked his thoughts about Max Ramming in George, to which he answered: “I did that before … in Mario Kart”

Verstappen does not talk about Russell incidents
After the race with Sky Sports after the race, Max Vertappen spoke tightly over the controversy of Russell, said, “Does it matter?”
“Yes, ok. That’s great. I’d rather talk about the race than at one time.”
“If there are. I think we are way too slow to fight for the title. That was clear again today.
“We tried to do a three-stop and that was pretty good, but we also needed it because we had quite a bit of relegation on the tires.
“Unfortunately, the Safety Car came out at the end and we had no more tires to use and the hard band was not the right tire. If you only have six laps to go, everyone can go flat and you are seriously limited on the hard.”
Russell responds
George Russell was pretty cool in his reaction to that controversial collision with Max Verstappen.
After the race he said: “I was just as surprised as you were.
“I have previously seen that kind of maneuvers on simulator games and go-karting but never in F1.”
Impressive ride on home ground
Fernando Alonso registered his first points of the F1 season for his many admiring fans.
After he started in tenth place on the schedule, the Aston Martin driver finished ninth when he crossed the border.
This will give him some confidence if he goes into the rest of the season.
Frustrating weekend for Max
After such an impressive start of the race this afternoon, it all ended in disappointment for Max Verstappen.
After Leclerc had caught up with him, a coming together with Russell forced him off the track, who made no impression on the Red Bull driver.
When his team then told him to let the Mercedes through, the red fog dropped, while he deliberately blocked the raid in a moment of frustration.
It certainly cost him because he was hit with a fine of 10 seconds that dropped him to tenth place.
McLaren dominate the stage in Spain
Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris were accompanied by Charles Leclerc while celebrating an impressive day.
It has become a regular face since changes in the car McLaren have made the team to beat in F1.
That said, they will never get tired of sharing success with each other.
