In a stunning turn of events, Red Bull Racing have officially confirmed that Max Verstappen will not take part in the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix following the FIA’s recent penalty decision.
The confirmation comes just hours after the FIA handed down a controversial ruling that has rocked the Formula 1 paddock. While specific details of the infringement remain closely guarded, sources within the sport suggest it relates to technical regulations concerning Verstappen’s car during the last Grand Prix.
Speaking in an official statement, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner expressed frustration over the decision but acknowledged the team’s hands were tied: “We strongly disagree with the penalty imposed by the FIA, but after careful consideration, we have decided not to field Max for this weekend’s race. Our focus now shifts to resolving this matter and ensuring we come back stronger.”
The absence of Verstappen, currently leading the drivers’ championship battle, is expected to have major implications for both the title fight and the Constructors’ Championship standings. Sergio Pérez will now shoulder the responsibility for Red Bull’s performance in Montreal.
Fans across the world have reacted with shock, with social media platforms flooded by debates and speculation about the wider impact of the FIA’s ruling on the season.
