There is still much talk in Brazil about the clash between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris in Mexico. The Dutchman now looks back on his penalties himself and can agree with at least one of them.
Max Verstappen has partially defended the Mexico City Grand Prix stewards for one of the two decisions to give him a 10-second time penalty, citing inconsistencies in the rulings. He incurred penalties for two incidents on lap 10 while battling with Lando Norris, including pushing the McLaren off the track and lunge up the inside of Norris at Turn 7. Verstappen received criticism for his aggressive moves, prompting the stewards to sanction him for going off-track and gaining an advantage. Despite the backlash, Verstappen maintains his innocence, claiming it is not intentional. He believes there is no need to change his approach to racing and highlights the importance of having a more competitive car to avoid such situations in the future.
