Verstappen has hit out at repeated questions about his F1 race ban threat after 2025 Canadian Grand Prix qualifying.

George Russell stormed to a stunning pole position for the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix from Max Verstappen, but the grid changed several times amidst penalties and parc ferme breaches. The Mercedes driver banked the best lap of the weekend with his final effort in qualifying to bump Verstappen from pole.

According to F1 analyst Peter Windsor, Max Verstappen might have to deal with an issue at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, as no circuit on the calendar punishes brake problems as much as this does. The RB21 is far from the perfect car,

Penalty points last for 12 months in F1, and so Verstappen’s slate won’t start clearing until June 30, the day after the Austrian Grand Prix. And even that is just two points falling off, if he navigates clean weekends in Canada and Austria in the coming weeks.

Max Verstappen says constant questions about his overhanging race-ban threat are "very childish" and "p****** me off" after sealing second in Canadian Grand Prix qualifying.

Max Verstappen arrived at the Canadian Grand Prix a single point away from a one-race suspension following his collision with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Derek Warwick, the former Formula One driver, has been suspended from his role as a steward at this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix after making “unauthorised media comments” about Max Verstappen.

The FIA hit the Red Bull star and four-time world champion with a 10-second penalty in the race, followed by three penalty points on his super license. That means Verstappen enters the Canadian Grand Prix with 11 points total on his super license in total. F1's rules dictate 12 penalty points in a 12-month period trigger a one-race suspension.
