With Max Verstappen admitting that his clash with George Russell in the Spanish Grand Prix was “a move that was not right and shouldn’t have happened”, we discuss what that tells us about the four-times world champion in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Dutch TV commentator Nelson Valkenburg and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to revisit the accident and examine exactly what it is that drives Verstappen to do things like this.
We also ask whether criticisms about his failure to live up to role model status and questions about if the FIA stewards should be harsher are valid.
There’s also the question of how significant, or overblown, this incident is, as well as listener questions about Verstappen’s future away from Red Bull and whether he could swap between the A-team and Racing Bulls depending on circuit.
