Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes Lando Norris was attempting to disrupt Max Verstappen’s race during their intense battle at the Austrian Grand Prix. Norris tried to pass Verstappen in the final stint after a slow pit stop brought the two drivers close together, resulting in multiple unsuccessful passing attempts at Turn 3. Horner expressed frustration over Norris’s four track limits violations and subsequent time penalty, suggesting that Norris was intentionally causing trouble at Turn 3. Despite the incident, Red Bull was still able to extend their lead in both championships, though not by as many points as they had hoped. Horner disagreed with the steward’s decision to penalize Verstappen for the collision, arguing that Norris was also to blame for the incident. Looking back at their previous on-track encounters, Horner noted that the competitive nature of both drivers likely contributed to the heated battle in Austria.
