George Russell says it was 'good' that Max Verstappen took accountability for Spanish Grand Prix collision
- Mercedes driver George Russell said it was good that Max Verstappen took accountability for their Spanish Grand Prix collision two weeks ago.
- The incident happened at Barcelona's Turn 5, where Verstappen tried to run Russell off the road, resulting in a 10-second penalty and three penalty points.
- Russell stated he was not seeking an apology, saw Verstappen's penalty as fair, and noted Verstappen is one point away from a race ban at upcoming Canada and Austria races.
- Russell explained the collision but said Verstappen's move was likely a show of dominance rather than an intentional crash and that they recently met by chance at an airport.
- Russell indicated rivals could exploit Verstappen's precarious penalty position, adding he will race normally this weekend despite the situation.
