Sky Sports pundit claims Max Verstappen at risk of tarnishing F1 legacy

Sky Sports F1 pundit David Croft has warned Red Bull star Max Verstappen that he is at risk of being remembered for the wrong reasons following his clash with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix.

The fallout from the controversial incident that saw Verstappen and Russell collide twice at the end of the race in Barcelona last weekend continues to rumble on.

It appeared that Verstappen intentionally drove his RB21 into Russell – something that the Dutchman said was unimportant when quizzed about it by Sky reporter Rachel Brookes after the race.

Croft: People will remember Max for this

Yet the 27-year-old sits just one penalty point away from a race ban. Verstappen knows that he has to race cleanly in the next two races to avoid a mandated suspension from the sport.
