“‘Fair racing’ is something Norris has mentioned before, and that’s the type of fight he wants to have. I don’t see Verstappen’s driving changing because the number one goal is to stop Norris from closing the gap for the drivers’ championship. We potentially still have a lot of interesting racing coming our way.”Explaining the stewards’ verdict, Herbert added: “It’s the guidelines we followed, the teams agreed with our decisions.
