Max Verstappen took victory at last year's British Grand Prix with Lando Norris finishing second and Lewis Hamilton in third placeMax Verstappen says he and Lando Norris "agreed with 99% of everything" when they discussed their Austrian Grand Prix clash this week.Verstappen revealed he "cared about maintaining his relationship" with Norris because "we are great friends".
Briton Norris said: "It's clear how he races. It's tough, it's on the limit, it's what I love. I thoroughly enjoyed the fight I had with him. "Naturally, there is always a human reaction when someone dives down the inside or outside that you have a bit of a reaction to it," said Verstappen. "But I felt everything I did was nothing massively over the top.
"There are things from both sides we probably wanted to do better. But avoiding an incident from moving under braking is probably the biggest thing. "You also have to realise that he is fighting for his second win, I am fighting for my 62nd, so your emotions are a little bit different. I know that from myself, when I was fighting for my first wins, that’s what I also said, 'Let's let it cool off'."
