Verstappen released a statement admitting he was wrong.

      On Sunday, after the Spanish Grand Prix, Max Verstappen had no regrets about deliberately crashing into George Russell at turn five. The Red Bull Racing driver even promised to "grab paper handkerchiefs next time" for George, who was rightly outraged by the world champion's actions when talking to the press.

      However, on Monday, Max Verstappen posted a statement on social media in which he admitted he was wrong.

      "We had a great strategy, and the race in Barcelona was going well until the safety car pulled onto the track," Max wrote. "Our choice of tires for the final stretch and some maneuvers after the restart increased my frustration, which led to actions that were wrong and that should not have happened..

      I always give myself completely to the team, and emotions can go through the roof. We win and lose together. See you in Montreal."
