Check out the biggest stories from Sunday of the Austrian Grand Prix with the RacingNews365 Review.
Max Verstappen received a 10-second time penalty from the Austrian Grand Prix stewards for his collision with Lando Norris on Lap 64, which resulted in Norris retiring and Verstappen finishing fifth due to punctures. Verstappen criticized the penalty decision as “ridiculous” after defending against Norris late in the race before the incident at Turn 3. Despite initially appearing poised for a comfortable win at the Red Bull Ring, a slow final pit-stop on Lap 52 allowed Norris to close in on the lead. McLaren’s team principal criticized Verstappen’s behavior after the collision, prompting Verstappen to express his intention to discuss the incident with Norris for their clash during the Grand Prix. Norris, on the other hand, condemned Verstappen’s actions as “reckless,” “desperate,” and “aggressive” during their battle, which led to terminal damage for Norris and a contentious ending to the race.
