Tension Rises Between Norris and Verstappen After Austrian GP Incident

"Max was unfair, he ruined my race." McLaren driver Lando Norris commented on the incident with Red Bull driver Max Verstappen during the 64th lap of the Austrian GP, when they were fighting for the win. Will this be the end of your friendship? "It depends on what Max will say, if he admits he was stupid, we’ll see, if he says he did nothing wrong, we’ll have problems," Norris added. "I am disappointed, I had a good race, I expected a fair battle. I don't think it was like that. It’s hard to accept, it was a race without mistakes on my part. Now we look to the next race. There is a rule, you don't react and you don't change trajectory to someone behind you; in the end, I went into him, he closed the door and ruined my race. I did my best and it wasn't enough. It wasn’t really my fault. I tried to be fair and he wasn’t. I am just sorry for my team," Norris concluded. Max Verstappen does not believe he made any mistakes or committed any particular irregularities in responding to Lando Norris' attacks at the end of the Austrian GP. "I don't think I drove aggressively and I don't think I was wrong. He was rightly trying to overtake me, so if there was any aggression, it was on his part, but that's racing," said the Dutchman from Red Bull. "It has happened to me several times as well, and of course, this episode was embarrassing and I want to review it, but these things happen in racing," Verstappen continued to Sky Sports, in a distant reply to an angry Norris.
