Former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya believes Max Verstappen will leave Formula 1 if he is suspended. Verstappen is one penalty point away from a suspension after his clash with George Russell in Spain. Montoya argues that if Verstappen is forced to miss a race, he might simply walk away from the sport.

Verstappen could miss Red Bull's home race in Austria if he receives another penalty point in Canada. Montoya suggests the FIA might adjust the rules to avoid such a scenario, given Verstappen's status as the reigning champion.
