Max Verstappen‘s harsh defensive moves against Lando Norris on the track became the focus of criticism after the American Grand Prix.
A similar fight took place between the two in Mexico last weekend, and Max Verstappen was given a 20-second penalty. This situation further fueled the discussions on the subject.
Evaluating the agenda before the Brazilian Grand Prix to be held this weekend, Hill said the following on the subject: “Max clearly headed towards the edge of the track at the exit of the fourth turn and did not give Lando any room. The images are very clear. He had to step back and take the corner or Lando He made no effort to leave room for . For him, it was simple: ‘You can’t pass.'”
“The second one was a stupid move. He accelerated into the corner and pushed Lando off the track. Lando didn’t have much of a choice. It was stupid driving.”
“Max has great talent and a competitive spirit, but what he did was not something to be proud of.”
“It’s possible to race fairly, but that doesn’t seem to be something Max can do. It’s not in his repertoire or his philosophy. His philosophy is: ‘You can’t pass here.'”
“They say sport doesn’t build character, it shows character, and his method is to resort to obstructive methods rather than keeping things within fair limits. You shouldn’t be allowed to use your vehicle as a weapon.”
