In the margin of the US Grand Prix weekend Red Bull's Helmut Marko caught flak for pointing out what he called Lando Norris' "mental weaknesses" as he weighed up the title chances of the McLaren driver against those of Max Verstappen in a recent interview.
"We know Norris has some mental weaknesses. I've read about some of the rituals he needs to do to perform well on race day," Marko said, referring to Norris' admission of feeling nervous and anxious on race weekends, with the pressure making him struggle to eat or drink before a race.
