Max Verstappen showed support for Mercedes rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli despite their clash at the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix. Antonelli’s mistake in turn 3 on the opening lap caused Verstappen to retire, but the Dutch driver acknowledged it as a part of racing. Verstappen, known for his sportsmanship, spoke to Antonelli post-race and expressed understanding, emphasizing that everyone makes such errors in their career. Antonelli took responsibility for the incident, received a three-place grid penalty for the British Grand Prix, and apologized to Verstappen. The championship situation sees Verstappen trailing Piastri by 61 points, with an intense battle between McLaren teammates Norris and Piastri unfolding. Despite the championship gap, Verstappen remains focused on improving performance and taking each race as it comes, prioritizing learning and development with Red Bull Racing.
