George Russell Secures Podium Finish as Red Bull's Protest Falls Flat at Miami GP
Source: news.source.channelnewsasia
George Russell maintained his third-place finish at the Miami Grand Prix after Red Bull's protest against him was rejected by Formula One stewards. Red Bull had alleged that Russell failed to slow down adequately during a virtual safety car period, but the stewards found the protest to be unfounded based on telemetry data. Max Verstappen, who finished just behind Russell, would have been promoted to the podium with a penalty to Russell.
