Red Bull Defends Verstappen Position Decision

Max Verstappen finished second in the Spanish Grand Prix, losing only to Kimi Antonelli. The Dutch driver had moved past Antonelli on the opening lap but was already instructed to concede that position by his team.

Team boss Laurent Mekies defended the decision, stating that even without the instruction, Verstappen couldn't have realistically won the race. The strategic move came as part of Red Bull's broader race strategy during the Madrid event. grenadier.co.za
