US EditionRed Bull blame human error for Verstappen unsafe release
- During the sprint race at Saturday's Miami Grand Prix, Red Bull mistakenly released Max Verstappen from the pits right in front of Kimi Antonelli, the Mercedes driver who had secured pole position, causing a collision in the pitlane.
- The release resulted from a human error acknowledged by Red Bull boss Christian Horner amid chaotic conditions with heavy rain and a red-flagged sprint.
- Verstappen collided with the rear of Antonelli’s car, causing significant damage to Antonelli’s front wing and compelling the 18-year-old Mercedes driver to stop his pit lane service prematurely; this incident disrupted his race and resulted in him dropping to tenth place.
- Verstappen, a four-times world champion, received a 10-second penalty that demoted him from fourth to 17th place, causing him to lose valuable points in the championship to leader Oscar Piastri.
- Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff expressed frustration over the lack of judgement in the incident, while Horner pledged to investigate further, indicating teams hope for a calmer qualifying ahead of Sunday's main race.
