US EditionF1 Miami GP 2025: Russell keeps third place after Red Bull protest rejected
- George Russell secured third place at the Miami Grand Prix in Miami Gardens, Florida, after race officials dismissed a protest filed by Red Bull.
- Red Bull contested that Russell failed to reduce speed adequately during a yellow flag on Lap 33, but the stewards found the protest to be unfounded.
- The stewards examined data from the car’s onboard cameras and telemetry, confirming that Russell eased off the throttle by around 25 percent, which led to a decrease in torque but remained within the rules.
- Max Verstappen started from pole position but ended the race in fourth place, finishing 2.312 seconds behind George Russell, which led to his visible frustration. Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri secured the win, finishing well clear of his McLaren colleague Lando Norris.
- The protest dismissal maintained Russell's podium position and intensified the ongoing competitive rivalry between Mercedes and Red Bull this F1 season.
