By Alan Baldwin MONTREAL (Reuters) -Formula One stewards rejected a Red Bull protest of George Russell's Canadian Grand Prix victory for Mercedes on Sunday. The stewards said in a lengthy statement issued five and a half hours after the end of the race that the protest was not founded.

Tens of thousands of people braved the heat to watch the wacky Red Bull Soapbox Race, which made its first ever stop in Utah on Saturday.

Red Bull protested the result of the Canadian Grand Prix accusing George Russell of driving erratically behind the late safety car triggered by Lando Norris crashing into Oscar Piastri

Red Bull has lodged a protest against Canadian Grand Prix race winner George Russell. Russell beat Max Verstappen in a close race that ended under safety car, and during that period the Mercedes driver appeared to drop back from the safety car on multiple occasions.

Dozens of four-wheeled contraptions ran a twisty course at the Utah Capitol on Saturday, for the first Utah edition of the Red Bull Soapbox Race.

The FIA hit the Red Bull star and four-time world champion with a 10-second penalty in the race, followed by three penalty points on his super license. That means Verstappen enters the Canadian Grand Prix with 11 points total on his super license in total. F1's rules dictate 12 penalty points in a 12-month period trigger a one-race suspension.
