Ferrari might have claimed an impressive win at the Mexico City Grand Prix but it was a race notable assuffered a double blow of his own making and significantly adverse impact, his repeatedly uncompromising driving against the world championship rival Lando Norris deemed unacceptable and proving costly to his title charge.
After an early safety car period and with Norris quicker than Verstappen the British driver went to pass. With sharp echoes of Texas, Verstappen once more pushed the British driver wide as he took the place. Norris was furious. “This guy’s dangerous, I just have to avoid a crash, I’ll end up in the wall,” he said.
Verstappen was told there had been a “lot of whinging” from Norris but worse was to follow as he was given another 10-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage in the second incident at turn eight. Verstappen had track position but with 20 seconds to come, he was now chasing damage limitation.Verstappen had been the beneficiary in Austin but this time it had been hugely costly and once more provoked a heated debate that will not die down quietly.
