Lando Norris says it's clear Max Verstappen is now willing to sacrifice himself just to affect the McLaren driver's race...
Lando Norris said it’s clear Max Verstappen will now sacrifice his own races just to ensure he beats the McLaren driver.
The furore came just days after a contentious battle between the pair in the United States went in Verstappen’s favour, as Norris was given a penalty for overtaking Verstappen off-track at Turn 12 of COTA. “But, you know, I think… I always, like I said before in some of the interviews, go into every race expecting a tough battle with Max. It’s clear that it doesn’t matter if he wins or second, his only job is to beat me in the race. And he’ll sacrifice himself to do that, like he did today.
Verstappen and Norris are known to be friendly off-track, but this relationship is being tested by their increasingly fractious on-track battle for this year’s championship. “Today, I felt like I just had to avoid collisions and that’s not what you feel like you want to do in a race. He’s in a very powerful position in the championship. He’s a long way ahead. He has nothing to lose.
