Why Lando Norris and Max Verstappen need to be kept apart at Hungarian Grand Prix
It has been nearly two years since Lando Norris and Max Verstappen shared the Hungaroring podium. During that time, Norris infamously destroyed Verstappen’s winner’s trophy, sparking a supposed rivalry that failed to materialize.
Despite the tense incident, both drivers quickly made amends, posing for photos with the repaired trophy, diffusing any potential drama.
In the midst of a lackluster 2023 season, the humorous saga added some excitement to the grid, though it ultimately amounted to little more than a funny anecdote.
As the championship battle heats up, Verstappen and Norris find themselves in close pursuit of leader Oscar Piastri, with the Dutchman needing a strong result to stay in contention.
Tensions may rise this weekend as the two fierce competitors vie for victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix while careful to avoid any trophy mishaps.
