Fighting for sixth place is not often where you find Max Verstappen in the closing laps of a Formula 1 race. But that is exactly where the Red Bull driver found himself as the laps ticked down in the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday.

Four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen has been demoted in the 2025 drivers' championship standings following a nightmare weekend at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Lando Norris is now under investigation for that potential false start. A penalty is surely heading the McLaren driver's way. Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli makes a move and is up into sixth place, just as a radio message played to show Max Verstappen was on the case of Norris' wrong starting position.
