Damon Hill weighs in on Max Verstappen-George Russell clash: ‘Over the top, as usual’
Damon Hill gives his view on the incident between Max Verstappen and George Russell at the Sp🍬anish Grand Prix

1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill has labelled168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen’s controversial move on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell during the Spanish Grand Prix as ‘over the top, asꦜ usual’.
🎃Verstappen was handed a 10-second time penalty and three pe🍌nalty points for colliding with Russell at Turn 5 in the latter stages of Sunday’s race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
A frustrated Verstappen appeared to clash with R💦ussell deliberately after Red Bull
orderedꦰ him ꩵto give the position back to the Mercedes driver.
Verstappen was annoyed after Red Bull put him on hard tyres after the Safety Car, leaving him vulnerable to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and Russell behind.
The four-tim🎀e F1 world champion immediately lost third to Leclerc after a huge snap of oversteer on the exit of the final corner.
Verstappen was then pushed off the track by Russell at Turn 1 but kept the position after t🙈aking to the run-off area.
Red Bull incorrectly informed Verstappen that he ha𝔍d to return the place to Russell, leading to further frustration.
Hill, who hasn’t been afraid to criticise Verstappen’s driving over the years, offered his view on the in💧cident.
He wrote on his X acco🔥unt: “It was a little ill-judged. Maybe he thought he’d done enough to satisfy the ‘giving back the place’ bit? The rest was over the top. As usual.”
Hill praises “under control” Oscar Piastri
In terms of the 2025 F1 title race, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri extended his points lead over 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris to 10 ꧃points after taking his fifth win of the season.
Piastri controlled the race from pole pos🍷ition to beat teammate Norris to t൩he win.
Hill praised Piastri for being “𒈔under control” in ꦰBarcelona.
“Spanish GP. Well done Oscar Pia♏stri. Had it all under control from a dominant pole,” Hill wrote on his X account. “Red Bull are fighting with everything they’ve got. But like a wounded animal, they are dangerous to approach. Title seesaw continues. Long way to go. Drama guaranteౠed.”
