Max Verstappen recently broke his silence on the collision with Kimi Antonelli in the pit lane during the Miami Sprint Race. The incident occurred when Verstappen’s Red Bull pit crew gave him the green light to exit his pit box, unaware that Antonelli’s Mercedes was approaching its own pit box in front of the Red Bull garage.
The Incident
The two drivers collided, resulting in damage to Verstappen’s front wing and a 10-second penalty that ultimately placed him 17th in the race. Reflecting on the incident, Verstappen stated, “I think it was clear what happened [during the pit stop]. I can’t make any more of it. The light goes off, and I can’t see that another car is coming, so yeah, very messy.”
