Verstappen Irritated by Repeated Penalty Points Questions Ahead of Canadian GP

Max Verstappen displays clear irritation when facing repeated questions about his penalty points accumulation — after securing front row start position at Canadian GP alongside George Russell.

This situation emerges following a controversial incident at Spanish GP — where Verstappen received a 10-second penalty and three penalty points for colliding with Russell.

“I don’t need to hear it again, it’s really pissing me off,” Verstappen states. “You’re speaking about it since Thursday, it’s such a waste of time and very childish.”

Russell offers his perspective on competing against Verstappen who stands on the brink of suspension:

“I’m not sitting here thinking he’s going to give us more room, if anything, probably the opposite to try and prove a point. But ultimately, we’re all here to win.”

When asked about his race targets, Verstappen expresses his focus on tire management and maximizing efforts for a podium finish — avoiding further discussion about his penalty points situation.
