Red Bull protests Russell's Miami GP podium

Red Bull has lodged a protest against George Russell’s podium finish at Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix.

Both Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly were summoned to see the stewards for an alleged breach of Appendix H of Article 2.5.5 of the FIA's International Sporting Code - which covers failing to slow under yellow flags.

That alleged infringement took place while there were yellow flags and a virtual safety car during the recovery of Ollie Bearman’s stricken Haas.

But Red Bull believes Mercedes driver Russell also failed to slow for yellow flags and has protested his third-place finish.

Russell, who missed the post-race top three press conference for medical reasons, has been summoned to see the stewards about the incident.

A conventional time penalty would result in Max Verstappen being promoted into the third place he lost to Russell when Russell pitted under that same virtual safety car.

Red Bull told Verstappen to stay within five seconds of Russell during the race, which he did, finishing 2.3s behind Russell.
