Norris was forced out of the race and Verstappen finished fifth as George Russell claimed victory for Mercedes.
Lando Norris has demanded an apology from a “reckless, stupid and desperate” Max Verstappen following their dramatic collision in the closing stages of Sunday’s Austrian Grand Prix.
“If he admits to being a bit stupid, running into me, and just being a bit reckless, then I will have a small amount of respect for it. But a processional race suddenly came alive on the 51st lap following a botched pit-stop by Red Bull. Three laps later and Norris was at it again. He launched his McLaren down the inside of Verstappen at the third bend but he carried too much speed, and the Red Bull man swooped back ahead.“He cannot keep moving after I move,” said the Englishman. “It is just dangerous. We will have a big shunt.”
On the next lap, the inevitable happened as the two drivers collided. Again, at Turn 3, Norris moved to Verstappen’s outside, but the Dutchman jinked ever-so-slightly to his left and banged rear wheels with the McLaren. “I expect a tough battle against Max,” said Norris. “He has always been like that. I expect aggression and I expect him to be pushing the limits, but there are times when he goes a little bit too far. It is only one incident, but I am disappointed. He ruined my race and he destroyed my car.”Verstappen, who had multiple collisions with Lewis Hamilton during their 2021 championship battle, described his punishment as “ridiculous” over the radio.
