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

George Russell picked up his first win of the 2025 F1 season on Sunday, winning the Canadian Grand Prix for the Mercedes F1 Team.

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.
