Time heals all wounds, or so they say. Lando Norris' comments made in the aftermath of his Austrian Grand Prix race-deciding incident with Max Verstappen were considerably stronger versus his reaction a few days later, made with the benefit of hindsight and distance from the event itself.
Let's compare them. Among the adjectives that Norris used in Austria were "reckless" and "desperate", aimed at Verstappen's robust efforts to retain the lead into Turn 3. The Briton told Sky that "if he says he did nothing wrong, then I will lose a lot of respect for that", clearly feeling that his friend and rival was wholly to blame for the clash.
