F1, Max Verstappen third with controversy

Max Verstappen è managed to hit the podium thanks to the penalty given to Lando Norris in the final of the Austin Grand Prix. The jury’s choice is causing discussion on social media but the Dutch driver tries to pull himself out of the controversy: "I have my opinion but I don’t need to say it here. I let the stewards do their job".

Despite a very difficult race, Verstappen è still managed to gain on the second in the standings: "Compared to yesterday è it was different, I had a lot of understeer and struggled under braking. That also made it difficult to defend: every time I got on the brakes I couldn’t brake too late. With Lando è it was a tough battle, to keep him behind I tried everything. Getting on the podium è a very good result for us".

Lando Norris preferred to gloss over the issue: "I tried to overtake, it was difficult, Max è defended himself well, this è everything", said the McLaren driver.

"He made mistakes and so did I, but it is not for me to decide. I do not make the rules", cut the Englishman short.
