Martin Brundle gives his verdict on the collision between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris in Austria.
The latest dispute between Verstappen’s father and Horner emerged over the weekend when Verstappen Sr pulled out of a planned appearance in the Legends Parade, claiming the Red Bull team boss had deliberately tried to block him from taking part.
"Did he know he was there? He confirmed post-race that he did, he's on top of it all well enough. They touched and it finished Norris's race and left Verstappen limping home for three quarters of a lap with a puncture,” Brundle wrote. “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.
“And to hear the Red Bull team on the radio after the race telling him it was all Norris's fault was a difficult listen, it damages their credibility all round.”
