Max Verstappen has hit out at repeated questions about his F1 race ban threat after 2025 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. The four-time reigning Formula 1 champion is adamant he will not change his driving style despite the warning hanging over him to be on his best behavior.
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.
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 heads to the Canadian Grand Prix on the brink of a one-race ban with one more infringement could see him miss out on valuable championship points.

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.
