“Mates on a Monday” criticism as Lando Norris is dealt “psychological” setback
"Max is a str꧂eet fi🐠ghter and, psychologically, that’s one for Max in that battle."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen won a “psychological” battle against 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris in their Austria tussle, Martin Brundle says.
Re🔯d Bull’s Verstappen drew the anger of McLaren when contact ended ꦫNorris’ F1 Austrian Grand Prix last weekend.
With their battle set to resume this weekend at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Norris has U-turned by insisting Verstappen does not owe him a♔n apology.
Brundle said to Sky Sports: “They were both really unlucky to get race-ending and raღce-disturbing pu🦩nctures.
“In the same race at the first corner, Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri h🐈ad a big contact. Piastri didn’t get🅺 a puncture.
“It’s luck of the draw.
“It’s black and white that, if you return to the racing line having defended, you mus🍌t leave at least a car’s width. There is no argument on that.
“It’s not always applied, though…
“It is a penalty under our own rules. 🌸That’s just a fact.
“Max wanted to stop Lando cutting 𝄹underneath, and getti♉ng DRS into Turn 4.
“I’m s𒐪urprised Lando has let Max off the ropes, if I’m hone🃏st.
“He should’ve kept in there. Max is a street fighter an🍸d, psychologically, that’s one for Max in that battle.
“I am coming from the era of Mansell vs Piquet a🐬nd Prost vs Senna, and more recently M𓃲ax vs Lewis.
“I don’tℱ know how you can be mates on a Monday morning. Clearly, they think they can.”
Norris was fuming wit🅷h🥃 his close friend Verstappen in parc ferme last weekend at the Red Bull Ring.
But his energy changed at Silvꦍerstone, insisting𒅌 he was not due an apology.
Naomi Schiff agreed with Brundle, and added: “An hour or two later, I thoughꦯt that from a psychological aspect, what Max did was important.
“He set the tone of what it will be like to ra♒ce him.
“Then, further to that, I thought Lando did a good job in sticking his ground and proving to Max he wouldn’t be bull𝓡ied.
“But by saying what he said in the press conference - that he should have used more kerb - you’re taking away that thing in “Max’s head of ‘Land♛ꦅo might not move if I bully him’.
“It’s a psychological game and you’ve got to play it again🐓st your opponent.”
Brundle said: “There’sཧ no doubt that Lando’s race craft💖 was gung-ho. Throw it in and let’s see what happens.
“He needs more pati🅺ence, finesse, cunning if he want🌼s to win a championship against Max in combat.”
