Lando Norris joked that Max Verstappen’s late-race clash with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix reminded him of a move he’d pulled off himself — in Mario Kart.
During the Spanish Grand Prix, Lando Norris compared Max Verstappen’s collision with George Russell to a move from Mario Kart. The McLaren duo secured a dominant 1-2 finish, with Oscar Piastri leading Norris to victory. Verstappen encountered troubles after being involved in collisions with Charles Leclerc and Russell, prompting him to give back the place he gained from Russell at Turn 5. Following a tense wheel-to-wheel moment between Verstappen and Russell, Norris humorously referenced his Mario Kart analogy to the other drivers. In the post-race press conference, both McLaren drivers remained cautious in their comments about the incident, with Piastri expressing confusion and Norris playfully deflecting attention to his teammate. Ultimately, Norris refrained from passing judgment on the matter until hearing from Verstappen and Russell themselves.
