Russell's Canadian GP Win Under FIA Investigation

George Russell's win at the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix is under review after Red Bull filed a protest with the FIA, alleging erratic driving and safety car rule violations in the final laps. The protest centers on Russell's heavy braking behind the safety car, which forced Max Verstappen to briefly pass him to avoid contact, following a late crash between McLaren drivers. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner cited previous penalties for similar actions but emphasized the protest was not personal. Verstappen, who is still one penalty point away from a race ban, attributed the incident to the slow safety car pace and downplayed controversy. Both Russell and Verstappen were summoned to the stewards, and the race result could change if penalties are applied. The decision is pending, casting uncertainty over Russell's victory.
