Russell's P3 in danger: Red Bull file protest with the Stewards!

Halfway through the race in Miami, Gabriel Bortoleto parked his technically stricken car bringing out a VSC. It was during this perios that Verstappen asked his team to confirm if Russell had slowed down, since the yellow flags were out.

In 2024, in the Qatar Grand Prix, in a similar situation, Verstappen was being chased closely by Lando Norris. During a yellow flags situation, the Dutchman noticed that his British counterpart had failed to slow down, which brought about a penalty for the McLaren driver.

Russell is now facing the same scenario as the standard 5 second penalty for the infraction would see the Briton and the Dutchman swap places in the race classification.
