Max Verstappen and Lando Norris “can’t be friends” after Austrian GP F1 flashpoint
Can Max Verstappen and Lando be friends and r🃏ivals? Ted Kravitz doesn't thi⛦nk so.

Sky Sports F1’s Ted Kravitz thinks 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris simply “can’t be friends” as🌼 their on🍨-track rivalry heats up.
S🍌u⛎nday’s Austrian Grand Prix was the first flashpoint between Verstappen and Norris.
After a num🐈ber of laps of intense battle, the pair collided at Turn 3.
Verstappen was handed a 10-second time penalty for his role in the incid🌺ent as he was deemed to have moved under braking, leaving Norris inadequate space and causing contact in the process.
The collision resulted in punctures for both drivers, forcing Norris out of the race, ꧋while Verstappen eventuallyജ finished fifth.
Speaking on his post-race notebook, Kravitz gave his thoughts on the situation: “And in the personal relationship between Lando Norris and Max Verstappen. Up until this point, the🙈y’ve been mates. They share nights out, they go to longer races on the same plane.
“So is this the end of a beautiful friendship between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris? Will there be no more trips to Ibiza? Will there be no more Martin Garrix concerts? Will⛦ there be no more respect?
“That’s what he [Norris] said, that’s the thing I think. Never mind Martin Garrix and the private jets. Max, Lando said, if he do♋esn’t apologise or accept responsibility, then I would have lost a bit of respect for him.”
Kravitz added: “Max was indicating afterwards that he is going to do no such thing. When he was tওold of the 10-second penalty for causing the accident by not leaving enough room for Lando as he attacked, Max said, ‘Of course, sure, that’s ridiculouꦕs.
“And Max’s view on this is worth considering because Max’s view on this is that, ‘Look, if you’re Lando you can send it left, you can send it right, you can ha🐻rry me into Turn 3 all you want. What do you want me to do?’

“Well, Lando would obviously say, ‘I want you to race cleanly and clearly and leave me a space either𒈔 way’. Max would counter and say, ‘Well, you forced me off the track’. Lando would counter back and say,’ Well, you moveꦡd under braking’. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
“And that’s what Andrea Stella is talking about. When you don’t lay down the rules as to what is and isn’t acceptable with h🌼ard-line guidance from the stewards, this is what’s going to happen.
“Now the other question is even if the stewards did lay down the rules and guidance of what it is and isn’t acceptable, would that have🅠 avoided something like today? I tend to think probably not. But anyway…”
Si༺nꦫce McLaren’s Austria upgrade last year, Norris has consistently been Verstappen’s nearest challenger.
As a result, Kravitz feels it will be impossible for two championship rivals to r♌emain friends and that Austria was “the first🧸 day that we saw it”.
“So Christian Horner said on the radio that Lando did not behave c🍬orrectly, that Max Verstappen was desperately unlucky,” he explained. “And that’s the thing about Red Bull. That’s why I said to Christian Horner, ‘Was Max Verstappe🔯n just not prepared to settle for second?’
“It’s so interesting. Was he not prepared at Red Bull’s home race to settle for second to McLaren? Maybe he wouldn’t have, that’s th🔥e point. Maybe he would have got Lando ꦡback but it all ended in tears. hey’re gonna blame each other. And maybe this is the end of the relationship between Lando Norris and Max Verstappen.
“Can two championship rivals ever be friends? No way. They can’t be sharing all of this stuff and having great times at Ibiza and Martin Garrix, et cetera, et cetera. They can’t be friends. It’s not possible. So𝄹 is today the first day that we saw it?”
