Sky Sports commentator outlines why Red Bull's protest in Canada was 'a bit desperate'

Despite being deep into the week leading up to the Austrian Grand Prix, there is still significant buzz in Formula 1 about last week’s incident in Canada between George Russell and Max Verstappen.

The reference is to the safety car incident that prompted Red Bull to file two protests against George Russell—both of which were dismissed by the stewards as insufficient grounds to impose a penalty on the Mercedes driver.

Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft, who attended the premiere of the new Formula 1 film in London on Monday evening, shared his thoughts on Red Bull Racing’s post-race protest with Sky Sports.

With Red Bull’s protest dismissed, George Russell was able to celebrate his first win of the season, while Verstappen still managed to gain important points against the two McLaren drivers in his pursuit of a fifth title.
