During a livestream on his YouTube channel, Windsor discussed the incident, emphasizing that the rules regarding the race restart after a safety car provide a lot of freedom to the race leader. "The leader may slow down as much as he wants from a certain point," Windsor explains. "Then it's difficult to judge. Red Bull's protest was doomed from the start."

According to Windsor, Russell pushed the limits but did not exceed them. "George Russell was on the edge of what's permissible." Therefore, the Red Bull protest was according to him not only unnecessary but also inappropriate. "I was shocked that Red Bull lodged that protest. Red Bull would never be right, no matter how you interpret the rules."

Windsor suspects that the protest was spurred by a remark from Russell himself, which he also found far from polite. "The protest might have been triggered by George's statement, saying that Max overtook him behind the safety car. Red Bull must have thought: Okay, if he says that, then we'll lodge a protest. If he hadn't said that, there probably wouldn't have been any protest."

Windsor, who sees the rivalry between Verstappen and Russell and their respective F1 teams 'escalate', also found Russell's comment out of place. "I find it inappropriate for George to say that," he concludes his analysis.
