# Motorsport: Four-time world champion Max Verstappen has admitted that frustration had led to him ramming Mercedes driver George Russell in the closing laps of an eventful Spanish Grand Prix. Verstappen, who had initially blamed both Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Russell for causing the shunt, posted on social media that his action was inappropriate. The incident happened shortly after racing restarted with five laps left following a safety car. Verstappen immediately lost third to Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and then went off the track as he tried to hold off Russell’s Mercedes.
