Red Bull has argued that Lando Norris “wouldn’t have made the corner” in the initial clash that saw Max Verstappen penalised in the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix.
Verstappen received two 10-second time penalties for incidents involving rivals Norris on Lap 10, breaching the racing rules. Norris attempted an overtake at Turn 4, but Verstappen did not leave enough room, leading to a collision. Verstappen made an audacious move on Norris at Turn 7, resulting in a second penalty. Red Bull’s team principal, Horner, defended Verstappen’s actions using race data, criticizing the penalties as too harsh and calling for a review of the overtaking rules. Horner warned that the current regulations could lead to dangerous situations on the track if not revised promptly to avoid chaos in future races.
