McLaren Formula 1 team boss reckons Verstappen’s Austrian GP tactics stemmed from his 2021 moves against Hamilton not punished properly
McLaren Formula 1 team principal Andrea Stella believes Max Verstappen’s collision with Lando Norris in the Austrian Grand Prix was a result of his 2021 clashes with Lewis Hamilton not being properly punished. Verstappen and Norris crashed late in the race at the Red Bull Ring when the former moved across the latter at the track’s tight, sharply-uphill Turn 3 right-hander, after Norris had sent a series of moves to the corner’s inside in previous laps.
When asked if he was referencing that particular incident, Stella replied: “Yes, there is many episodes. “The fact is that we have so much respect for Red Bull, so much respect for Max that they don’t need to do this. They don’t need to do this. “This is a way to almost compromise your reputation. Why would you do that?” Stella also said “the stewards found that Max was fully at blame in this episode so it is not about racing in a driver’s way, it is about racing in the regulations”.
