Russell: "Instead of the chance of appeal, they should be punished..."

As is known, after the end of the Canadian Grand Prix and the painful defeat for Red Bull, Max Verstappen's team filed a protest against George Russell. The action proved unsuccessful, but it had serious repercussions.

However, it was Russell who put an end to further hostilities, indicating that he knows Max Verstappen has nothing to do with it. Unlike Red Bull Racing, who should be sanctioned as repeat offenders!

“It’s really not my problem if the guy behind me is too close; that’s his responsibility. I focus on mine at such times. But for someone to protest because of that... They should know well that there was never a real chance of them being penalized. I might not be popular for my opinion, but they didn’t give me sleepless nights with this, even though I know that was their goal. Such cases should be prevented by punishing Red Bull Racing when they do something like this. For every little curse word, serious fines must be paid, or if you touch a car, while the cost of a protest is not a large amount. It’s time to change this, so maybe they would think about whether it makes sense to try to use it as psychological warfare.” - provided tips to the FIA from the Mercedes driver.
