FIA Reveals Verdict On Red Bull Protest Against Russell After F1 Miami GP

  • The FIA stewards rejected Red Bull's protest against George Russell's third-place finish at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix on May 4th, 2025 at Miami International Autodrome.
  • Red Bull claimed Russell failed to reduce speed under yellow flag conditions during a virtual safety car period, alleging a breach of FIA regulations requiring discernible speed reduction.
  • The stewards reviewed onboard footage and telemetry, determining that Russell had lifted his throttle by approximately 25%, resulting in reduced torque and slower relative speed despite a slight increase in absolute speed.
  • The stewards concluded the reduction of speed applies relative to normal racing speed, and since Russell slowed compared to his usual pace, the protest was deemed unfounded and the deposit forfeited.
  • Russell maintained third place behind winner Oscar Piastri, while Verstappen finished fourth 2.312 seconds behind, and the FIA's decision confirmed the race results with ongoing team discussions about driver contracts.
