Max Verstappen was already uncomfortable in Las Vegas, and midway through the Grand Prix, things did not get any better for the Dutchman. After receiving a time penalty for the start-up incident with Charles Leclerc, the Red Bull Racing driver collided with George Russell's Mercedes at a later stage. The incident caused a safety car because of the numerous debris that had to be cleared by the marshals. The stewards quickly ruled that Russell was responsible for the collision and imposed a five-second time penalty on him.
