engaged in a showdown that ended disastrously at the Austrian Grand Prix, prompting pundits to question the moves of the 3-time world champion. The incident not only forced Norris out of the race but also saw Verstappen limping to a fifth-place finish, albeit after a puncture and a 10-second penalty. But it was his driving directly after the clash that saw questions arise.
"What I found alarming is that after the contact and as they were both limping along, Verstappen clearly tried to impede and collect Norris if he could." This assertive move by Verstappen might reflect a regression to his more impulsive early-career racing tactics, suggesting a temporary veiling of the matured, strategic competitor we've seen in recent times.
“I've also said that he's calmed down, matured, and plays more the percentage game with three championships in his pocket. But that appears to have been a thin veneer as this race was very much Max 1.0, with his default driving tactics and denials resurfacing."off-track drama involving a dispute "I'm making no excuses for him, but I do wonder if the ridiculous spat between his father Jos and team boss Christian Horner has finally surfaced on track for him," Brundle speculated.
