Verstappen Criticizes Penalty Point System Before Canadian GP

In Montreal, George Russell, Mercedes, starts in pole position and Max Verstappen, Red Bull, in the second starting position.

When Verstappen at the press conference before the race was asked how the threat of disqualification can affect his driving style, the atmosphere suddenly became cool.

It's a waste of time. It's very childish. I do not want to say too much because it is very annoying – this world we live in.

The question was then passed on to Russell.

I have a few more penalty points to play with, noted the Mercedes driver.
