Lando Norris’ message to Max Verstappen

In the aftermath of their crash at the Austrian Grand Prix, Lando Norris said he was looking forward to further battles with Max Verstappen in the future.

Norris said Radio X:”Overall I feel good. I’m looking forward to the British Grand Prix.

“But at the same time, I went back over everything, we went over things, and let’s just say I wouldn’t really change what I did.

“I fought, and that’s what we want, we want to fight. We don’t want to complain, we don’t want things to end the way they did, not on Max’s side, not on mine.

“That’s life sometimes. We fight, we both want to win and we’re going to push the limits, some a little more than others.

“But at the same time, I’m excited. We’re going to have more fights together and I’m looking forward to those moments.”

“It was Max’s fault,” Herbert said.

Asked if Verstappen had acted deliberately, Herbert clarified: “It is deliberate, that’s why I use the word intimidation when he goes to the limit without putting himself in trouble. But he has always had this behaviour in his history.”
