Verstappen Saw Norris Suddenly Drive His Car Into the Pits A Few Seconds Ahead of Him. “You really Need Clean Air in Such A Fast Lap, because you are Driving Completely on the Limit. I Lost downforce as a result and had to abort my lap.”

“If someone is Driving Two Seconds in front of you in the last corner, you have to take your foot off the gas, otherwise you just lose too much time. That’s a shame, but it is what it is.
Verstappen Doessn’t Feel the Need to Talk to Norris
Verstappen, Who Surprisingly Saw George Russell take pole Position, Doesn’t Feel the Need to Talk to Norris. “It’s pretty clear what happened. Everyone normally tries to stay out of each other’s way, but with ten on the track at the same time, this could escould have avoided.”
