'You want to stand your ground against everyone. And obviously it's your reputation as well.'
Weighing in on his former team-mates’ Austrian GP clash, Daniel Ricciardo says Max Verstappen’s rivals know he’s a tough racer and they won’t get more than an “extra centimetre” from him at best., both former team-mates of Ricciardo’s, came to blows at the Austrian Grand Prix when they collided while fighting for the lead of the race.Running second, Norris tried to pass the Red Bull driver around the outside of Turn 3 only for Verstappen to close the door.
“I think the outcome was bigger than probably what was actually happening on track. I don’t think what I saw at least seemed over the top. Was it pushing the edge? Probably. But was anything dangerous or reckless? At least from what I’ve seen, no.” “I’m not saying whether everything was correct and by the book, maybe some things were pushing it, but I don’t think… They’re going to talk about it because it’s for the win and probably try to create some enemies out of two kids that get along.
“And when people come up to you on track, you don’t want them to think, ‘Oh, this guy is going to be an easy one for me’. So you always want to have your elbows out to an extent. “I think Lando learned that on Saturday . He thought he probably had it done and Max said, ‘Not today’. You live, and you learn.
Ricciardo accepts that drivers will “maybe push it a little more than they should and try to get away with it” in the midst of an “intense” battle.
