Spanish GP: George Russell says Max Verstappen crash 'felt deliberate'

BARCELONA, Spain -- George Russell said Max Verstappen's move on him felt deliberate and suggested the four-time world champion is a bad example for kids watching Formula 1.

Verstappen drove into the side of Russell's car in the closing moments of the race after being asked to let the Mercedes driver back past, following an incident several laps earlier.

It was unclear whether Verstappen had driven into Russell intentionally or if he had attempted to let the Mercedes back past and then overtake again and simply misjudged the corner.
