Red Bull has lodged an official protest of the Miami Grand Prix results. Note: this story has been updated which you can read here . The F1 stewards have summoned the Milton Keynes-based squad to a hearing in Miami, where the team will plead its case. Red Bull holds belief that Mercedes' George Russell did not slow under a yellow flag that was deployed during the race. Should Russell be found guilty, he would likely be issued a time penalty which would see Verstappen promoted to the final spot on the podium. Towards the end of the grand prix, Red Bull was heard advising Verstappen over team radio to keep the gap within five seconds. Verstappen crossed the line just over two-seconds down on his Mercedes rival, meaning any time penalty would gift Verstappen a promotion to the podium. Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly are also under investigation for similar alleged infringements.
