P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Lando Norris has argued Max Verstappen “knows the changes he has to make” as a response to the penalties that he received in F1’s Mexico City Grand Prix.
At the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez last weekend, Verstappen received two separate 10-second time penalties for pushing Norris wide twice within a few corners, which helped Norris recover to second place and reduce Verstappen’s points gap to 47. Despite the incident, Norris expressed his respect for Verstappen as a person and for his achievements but believes that Verstappen knows he crossed the line. Norris stated that they haven’t spoken, as it’s not his role to mentor or teach Verstappen, and he believes that Verstappen is capable of understanding the necessary changes on his own. While Verstappen hasn’t publicly shown a desire to change his approach, Norris hopes for a cleaner battle between them in Brazil this weekend and trusts the stewards to handle any on-track incidents effectively. Norris emphasized that he doesn’t make the rules or decide penalties, but he will continue to focus on doing his job on the track.
