Christian Horner tries to be peacemaker between Verstappen and Norris
The words of Christian Horner
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner at the microphones of Sky Sports had his say on what happened in Austria between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris: "To me it seemed that there was enough room for Norris, who by the way had already violated the track limits four times. I think the penaltyà was too severe, but these are the races".
"Maybe they won’t play paddle tomorrow, but I’m sure they will talk about it. They are two strong drivers. They will talk about everything. I have no doubt about that. There are relationships between the pilots that vary up and down the grid, and I think in the end there is respect, and that è the most important thing. Inevitably friendships come under pressure when you compete hard".
"I am disappointed,” said Norris, visibly displeased with what happened on the track, “so what else could I say? I had a good race, I expected a tough but fair battle, but it didn't go that way. It's really hard to accept, also becauseé I did not make any mistakes".
