MIAMI (Reuters) -Red Bull blamed human error after Max Verstappen was released into the path of Mercedes' pole-sitter Kimi Antonelli in the pitlane during Saturday's Miami Grand Prix sprint.

The four-times world champion was handed a 10 second penalty, dropping him to last overall, but the incident also wrecked Antonelli's afternoon with the 18-year-old finishing 10th.
