Four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen is set to retire this year according to an insider within Christian Horner's Red Bull outfit. Calum Nicholas was formerly Red Bull's most recognisable mechanic, appearing frequently in the garage on race weekends and gaining a following on social media after being featured in the Netflix docuseries Drive to Survive.

The stewards took a dim view of the contact, hitting Verstappen with a 10-second penalty and three penalty points. This dropped him from fourth to 10th in the classification and brought him to within one penalty point of an automatic one-race suspension, which would have a disastrous impact on his title hopes.
