As the 2024 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix dust settles on the Spielberg Circuit, an incident on the Red Bull Ring between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris escala
escalated into a major talking point. In the heat of the final laps, their cars collided at Turn 3, resulting in significant ramifications for both drivers. Verstappen received a 10-second penalty after stewards concluded he was predominantly at fault, stripping him of a podium finish as he and Norris both suffered punctures—the
Verstappen was adamant that his driving during the incident wasn't dangerous, and he wasn't braking when he moved his car to the left side of the track where Norris was attempting to push. "For me, it was not moving under braking. Because every time that I moved, I was not braking already. Of course, from the outside, it always looks like that, but I think I know fairly well what to do in these kind of scenarios.
“Also a few of those are really late dive bombs , so it's a bit of just sending it up the inside and just hope that the other guy steers out of it. It's not always how you race, but I think it's just the corner here that lends to that as well. I've been in the other position as well where you go for it, and it's just the shape of the corner,” Verstappen admitted"I think the move that we got together was something that I didn't expect.
