The feud between George Russell and four-time reigning Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen could continue at the Canadian Grand Prix after the two locked up the front row in qualifying.

The FIA hit the Red Bull star and four-time world champion with a 10-second penalty in the race, followed by three penalty points on his super license. 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.

Red Bull racing driver Max Verstappen called the talk around his possible race ban as childish ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix. Verstappen is on the verge of a possible race ban after a collision with Mercedes’ George Russell lost him three points, taking his tally to 11.

Max Verstappen is just one penalty point away from a race ban — and F1 pundit Martin Brundle says his rivals should goad him into scoring it.

If Verstappen collects one more penalty point on his racing license he will automatically miss the Austrian Grand Prix later this month.
