For Verstappen, it droppeඣd him to 15th,🐬 before recovering to a lacklustre sixth.

It means in back-to-back races, there have been controversial incidents between Verstappen and 𓆉Norris.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Norris felt the events of Mexico were considerably more severe th🙈an what happened in Austin.

“I think this was another step ܫfrom Austin,” he said. “I don’t necessarily think any of us should have had a penalty in Austin.

“I am not saying Max should have had one, me not, I don’t think that’s the case. Here, I think it🌱 was a lot more clear for different reasons.

“I don’t need to say them. I respect Max a lot in wh🥂at he does, how he ra༒ces, all of these things.

“I look forward to having good battles with him. I want to have them. It makes me smile and what I love about racing. It’s why I do it in a way. Things like today, it’s a bit too far. We both could have been out of the race and I just think that’s not how you should race. Maybe so𓂃me will disagree and say I am wrong.

“I think today was a step too far. I think Max will know that, 🔯I hope, and then we can go ahead to have some more clean, fair battles because I look forward to them.”

Sky🀅 Sports F1 com𝓡mentator Martin Brundle concurred with Norris, describing it as a “red mist” moment.

Brundle also felt that Verstappen doesn’t ne🔴ed to resort to such tactics, stating “he’s better than that”.
