Red Bull boss makes Lando Norris data claim to argue against Max Verstappen's double penalty in Mexico.
After running Norris wide at Turn 4, a lunge on the McLaren driver caused both to once again go off the circuit at Turn 7. Verstappen recovered to finish sixth but saw his championship advantage shrink to 47 points over Norris, who claimed second.a data print out claiming to reveal that Norris had carried more speed into Turn 4 when battling Verstappen than at any other point in the race.
“If I show you here on the GPS - this is on the run down to Turn 4 - this is actually Lando versus Lando, and what you can see is that the orange line is Lando’s fastest lap of the grand prix, so the point he is braking for Turn 4 and then obviously executing the corner. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says Lando Norris entered Turn 4 15km/h faster during his battle with Max Verstappen v his quickest lap and “wouldn’t have made the corner”“Of course at this point of the race he’s got probably 80 kilos more fuel than at the point that he’s done his fastest lap.
“Now every karting circuit, every indoor karting circuit around the world, if you’ve got the inside line you control the corner. It’s one of the principles and the physics of racing. So they just need to get back to basics that if you’re on the outside you don’t have priority.
