Max Verstappen Says He won’t Change His Approach Despite Being On The Verge of A Race Ban Ahead of This Weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.
Verstappen was given Two Penalty Points for His Collision With George Russell Last Time Out in Spain Which Means He has 11 Penalty Points on His Super License from the Last 12 Months.
If a Driver Reaches 12 Penalty points over a rolling one-year period, they are banned for the next event. Since the penalty system system was introduced in 2014, Only Kevin Magnussen in 2024 has been suspended for reaching the dozen points marker.
Verstappen will lose two penalty points after the austrian grand prix at the end of June, but will need to Come through this weekend’s race in Montreal, then the Austria Event, Unscathed.
“It’s there right? There’s Nothing you can do about it. We Just Focus Ahead, Try to do the Best You Can Every Single Time. It’s not [about] Changing My Approach, “He told Sky Sports F1.

Norris Says Verstappen May Even “Fight More” Becaus he’s now 49 points Behind Championship Leader Oscar Piastri.
“Max is also one of the best in the world because how he drives.
“What He Did Last Weekend Was Obviously A Little Different To What He Normally Dues. It was not just a simple aggression and good, strong, on-the-edge defensive moves. It was something obviously a little bit separate from that.
“I think Max is who is and he’s achieved what he has been of how he drives, so there is no reason for him to change that side.”
Earlier on thursday’s media day in montreal, Mercedes Driver Russell Said that a race for Verstappen would be justified, Should the Dutchman Driver Reach the 12 Penalty Points Total.
But, oven-time world champion Verstappen Says He’s “not worried” about a suspension race.
He Said: “What is fair? I mean, is it fair that i’m only 11 points? I don’t know, but at the same time, life is not fair, if you look at it like that.
“I just come here to race and I will always race hard, race Howk I Should Race, and then we go on to the next race.”
On the Monday After the Spanish Grand Prix, Verstappen accepts he was at fault for the clash with Russell and Christian Horner Said he apologated to the team.
The Dutchman was not keen to talk about the Incidents on the Sunday post-Race and insists it was “not hard” to put out a statement.
“I was sharing my view of Things, How I Thought That Race Pannet Out. It was not ideal for me. That was my statement, then I Went back to enjoying my day.”
Verstappen was on race to finish third behind the two mclarens in spain a safety car for kimi antonelli’s striken mercedes bunched the field togger.
Red Bull Put Verstappen on Hard Tyres, since they had no other New Tyres, Whereas Everyone Else in the Top 10 was on soft.
Verstappen Had a Big Snap of Oversteer on the Restart Out of the Last Corner and was overtaken by Charles Leclerc, who briefly made contact with Him. Russell also tried to get through at turn 1 but the pair toured and versatapen cut the chicane to keep fourth place.
All this combined led to versatapen’s Increasing frustration that culminated in Him Being Told to let Russell through, which Red Bull Did not need to do after the stewards Deemed the Red Bull Driver Did Nothing Wrong at the First Chicane.
“It was just a very frustrating few laps in a row. I Got Drive Into in the Straight after I Almost Crashed Already with these Hard Tyres,” Verstappen Explained.
“Then I Got Drive Into in Turn 1, then they tell me that i have to give the place back. I’m like, ‘that makes no sense’, so it was like a lot of that just cam together.
“It was a spujudage Clearly in the corner. But you don need to go into full detail of why, how and what. Everyone Makes Mistakes in Life. Everyone Learns from them and we just move on.”
Verstappen has won the Last Three Canadian Grand Prix But McLaren Will Be Favourites Once Again after their impressive Season so far.
Red Bull Have Been Relatively Weak On Tracks that have lots of low-speed corners and over bumps, which the latter is a major feature at the circuit gilles villeneuve.
“If we can fight for a podium, Fighting with Ferrari, Mercedes, I Think that Already WOULD BE A GOOD ACHIEVAMENT,” Said Verstappen.
“McLaren Go Fast Everywhere. It’s not even in my head. I’m more focused on the other team.
“I Know that last Year, for Example, Mercedes was very strong here. I think if you compare last year to now, I think maybe they are more competition as well. It will be hard enough, i think, to already fight for a podium.”
Championship Leader PiaStri, Who is Looking for Consecrative Race Wins for the Second Time This Season, Wow not Rule outpapn and Him to Still Race Hard.
“I think for me i’m still going to race how i always race. I think i normally try to race who is smart and keep myyself out of trouble,” he said.
“A Good Saying is that ‘it’s often Better to Still be in the race that is that you were right in the situation,’ so i’ll try and keep that.”
