George Russell "got away" with cheeky move as Christian Horner makes penalty stance clear

Sergio Perez missed out on a podium finish at the Spanish Grand Prix because of a cheeky George Russell move which went unpunished, according to Christian Horner.

The Formula 1 stewards noted the moment Russell bailed out of a move heading into the first chicane on lap one of the race. He had tried to go around the Haas of Nico Hulkenberg, but chose to veer left off the circuit to take the run-off road.

He stayed left of the two cones before rejoining and did so behind Hulkenberg, before going on to overtake the German two corners later. But the stewards decided an investigation into the incident was not necessary and so he never faced any danger of a penalty.
