Max Verstappen showed his irritation with questions about penalty points and race bans after qualifying on the front row for Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix alongside old foe George Russell.

Max Verstappen has hit out at repeated questions about his F1 race ban threat after 2025 Canadian Grand Prix qualifying

Talk of a potential penalty point ban leaves Max Verstappen claiming it's "p*ssing me off" ahead of the Canadian GP.

A visibly irritated Max Verstappen said the "childish" focus on his penalty points situation was "already pissing me off."

Penalty points last for 12 months in F1, and so Verstappen’s slate won’t start clearing until June 30, the day after the Austrian Grand Prix. And even that is just two points falling off, if he navigates clean weekends in Canada and Austria in the coming weeks.

Max Verstappen took issue with a question about his penalty points at the Canadian Grand Prix, describing the discourse as ‘childish’ and stating that he was ‘p***ed off’ by the comments. The Dutchman is one point away from a ban and won’t drop any from his FIA super license until July.

Max Verstappen arrived at the Canadian Grand Prix a single point away from a one-race suspension following his collision with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix.

The FIA hit the Red Bull star and four-time world champion with a 10-second penalty in the race, followed by three penalty points on his super license. That means Verstappen enters the Canadian Grand Prix with 11 points total on his super license in total. F1's rules dictate 12 penalty points in a 12-month period trigger a one-race suspension.

Derek Warwick, the former Formula One driver, has been suspended from his role as a steward at this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix after making “unauthorised media comments” about Max Verstappen.
