Christian Horner accused George Russell of ‘goading’ Max Verstappen into a race ban as tempers flared following a dramatic Canadian Grand Prix.

It was the fourth victory of George Russell’s career, and the race ended under yellow when McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris staged a wheel-to-wheel late battle that ended with Norris hitting the wall.

Max Verstappen secured second place at the Canadian Grand Prix but was unable to mount a challenge against race winner George Russell. The Red Bull driver struggled throughout the race with excessive tyre wear that prevented him from competing for victory.
