BAN WOULD BE FITTING

Russell: Max only has himself to blame

- BY DANIEL MOXON

GEORGE RUSSELL thinks rival Max Verstappen deserves a Formula One ban for his “reckless driving.

But the Brit backtracked on his previous claim that the Dutchman intentionally rammed him at the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks ago.

Verstappen was handed a time penalty and also three points were added to his racing licence, taking him to 11.

One more at this week-end’s Canadian Grand Prix would see the Red Bull racer banned for his team’s home race in Austria later this month.

And that, Russell (right) believes, would be a fitting punishment.
