Max Verstappen's aggressive driving during the Spanish Grand Prix reignited his controversial persona amid questions about intentionality after a collision with George Russell. Verstappen's choice to collide with Russell following a team instruction to concede position drew criticism from fellow racers, who noted that such behavior is inappropriate for an aspiring driver’s role model. The incident was caught on camera and elicited shocked reactions within the paddock, further emphasizing concerns about Verstappen's decisions, despite his status as a top racer in Formula 1.
It felt very deliberate, to be honest. It's a bit of a shame because Max is clearly one of the best drivers in the world, but maneuvers like that are just totally unnecessary.
Oh my god, gasped third-placed Charles Leclerc as the clip of Verstappen's incident with Russell unfolded. Championship leader and race winner Oscar Piastri simply said, 'Yikes.'
