      Calls for Verstappen to be DISQUALIFIED after ramming Russell in ‘Mario Kart move’ as Piastri wins Spanish Grand Prix

      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN reignited his old feud with George Russell as he appeared to RAM into the Mercedes driver late on.Former world champion Nico Rosberg called for the black flag to be brought out and disqualification for Verstappen after the stunning incident on lap 64. Oscar Piastri took the race win at the Spanish Grand Prix ahead of team-mate Lando NorrisCredit: PABut late on Max Verstappen appeared to RAM his car into George Russell after being told to let him passCredit: Sky SportsVerstappen was told to let the Brit pass him on track before smashing into himCredit: Sky SportsFormer world champion Nico Rosberg called for the Dutchman to be disqualifiedCredit: GettyVerstappen was hit with a ten second time penalty in the end after colliding with Russell as he was told to let the Brit driver through. Watching in the cool-down room after the race, runner-up Lando Norris compared it to something he has done before in “Mario Kart”.The chaos began after the restart from the safety car which was prompted by Kimi Anontelli veering into the gravel. Verstappen nearly spun and Charles Leclerc overtook and then Russell nearly went into the back of the Dutchman who had to veer off track onto the escape road and was told by his team to give the place back to the Brit. READ MORE IN F1The Mercedes man thought he was doing so but the Dutchman appeared to intentionally ram into the side of him. Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri pulled off a blinder to win the race ahead of his teammate Lando Norris who is hot on his tails in the push towards the driver’s title. The time penalty for Verstappen meant Leclerc finished third ahead of fourth-place Russell, but it was misery for Lewis Hamilton who was overtaken by Nico Hulkenburg for fifth. At the start, Australian driver Piastri got off perfectly while Verstappen picked out Norris for second. Most read in MotorsportBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKRussell produced a horrific start which left him for dust by both Ferraris as Hamilton went into fourth and Lecerc into fifth. Flustered Russell was fuming saying: “These ***** are moving under braking today.

They realise they have to push on. It’s a long way to go from there.” Piastri played Norris like a fiddle though, allowing him to get close before charging clear of his teammate with the gap over five seconds with 20 laps to go. Norris and Verstappen got caught up in a fierce battle between Ollie Bearman and Liam Lawson. The four-time world champion slammed the “f****** idiots!” on his team radio as he angrily waved at Bearman when he passed him. Drama erupted when the safety car came out after Anontelli’s Mercedes veered into the gravel while England and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham watched on from the garage. Read More on The SunThere was chaos on the restart for Verstappen which took the attention away from Piastri eventually soaring over the line with another perfect performance.The dramatic events saw Piastri move ten points ahead of Norris at the top of the World Drivers Championship, with Verstappen tumbling 49 points behind the leader.Kimi Antonelli’s caused the late safety car to spark the chaosCredit: GettyLewis Hamilton finished P6 after being passed at the end by Nico Hulkenberg and then bumped up one spot by the Verstappen penaltyCredit: Alamy More
