Max Verstappen: 'I think I know his birthday present already.'
Max Verstappen says he’ll buy Lando Norris a “big mirror or some glasses” after the McLaren driver insisted he gave the Red Bull driver space on the opening lap of the Spanish Grand Prix .
Verstappen was asked about Norris’ antics after the race, explaining: “I had to do a bit of rallying on the straight. I had to go into the grass a bit, which lost me a bit of momentum. So then, of course, we were quite late into Turn 1.”“It’s always difficult to judge in that situation. I can’t get a tape measure out and measure it perfectly. I’m not going to make his life easy. There was enough space, I think,” he said.
However, pressed on whether he felt Norris had squeezed him or given him enough room, the reigning World Champion joked that Sunday’s start gave him the perfect idea of a present for his good friend. “It’s OK. No, listen, I mean, it’s hard racing for sure. If you turn it around, would I have done the same? I probably would have done the same. You always try to squeeze it to the limit.
