Max Verstappen apologized to Red Bull employees for George Russell clash, claims Christian Horner

Red Bull Racing CEO Christian Horner recently disclosed that Max Verstappen issued an apology to team members after his collision with George Russell at the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix. Verstappen addressed the incident during the team’s post-race debrief on his Instagram handle.

The collision had significant repercussions for both Verstappen and Red Bull. The four-time world champion plummeted from a potential fourth-place finish to tenth after receiving a ten-second penalty, resulting in only one point. This outcome also caused Red Bull to slide to fourth in the constructors’ championship standings, now trailing McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes.

The incident was deemed avoidable and was a missed opportunity for the team. Verstappen was on track for a strong finish until the late-race developments and the team’s decision to concede the position to Russell led to further complications. Horner mentioned that the safety car, triggered by Kimi Antonelli’s crash, disrupted the well-executed three-stop strategy.

While the team lacked the pace to challenge race leader Lando Norris, a decent points haul was still feasible. However, the timing of the safety car impacted the result, and the clash with Russell ultimately led to a disappointing outcome. On the other side of the garage, Horner believed that Yuki Tsunoda missed out on a potential points finish due to the reshuffling of the field caused by the safety car.

Leaving Barcelona with just one point between their two drivers and facing increased pressure in both championships, Horner described the outcome as frustrating but acknowledged that uncertainty and misfortune are inherent in the sport.

Reflecting on the race on social media, Horner stated, “Spain closes out the triple header and we leave Barcelona frustrated that we didn’t take more from the race.” He emphasized that the team’s three-stop strategy was the better option and only the untimely safety car hindered their performance. He also mentioned that Max Verstappen apologized for his incident with Russell during the debrief.

Furthermore, Horner addressed Nico Rosberg’s commentary suggesting that Verstappen should have received a black flag for the collision. He downplayed Rosberg’s remarks as sensationalist and stressed the importance of Verstappen maintaining clean driving standards to avoid a race ban, as he is currently one penalty point away from suspension.

Verstappen’s ten-second time penalty and three penalty points from the collision with Russell have brought his total penalty points to 11, leaving him just one point away from triggering a race ban. Red Bull’s position in the constructors’ standings has also worsened, slipping to fourth place.

With Verstappen’s potential race ban looming and the team facing performance issues with the RB21, Red Bull faces a challenging road ahead in the remainder of the season. The gap to championship leaders McLaren and Ferrari has widened, making it crucial for Red Bull to address their inconsistencies and find a reliable second driver to support Verstappen in scoring points.
