Max Verstappen in X-rated radio blast as Lando Norris forced to avoid "massive" crash

Lando Norris had to react quickly to avoid slamming into the back of Max Verstappen as the Red Bull driver trundled around the Jeddah track on a slow lap during practice on Saturday.

Traffic issues have been a theme of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend so far. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit has seen changes to its layout to improve visibility, but still the narrow but fast nature of the street circuit makes it difficult for cars to get out of the way of those on a hot lap at times.

Race engineers are usually very good at warning drivers on slow laps that a quicker car is approaching from behind, but that didn't appear to happen with Verstappen on Saturday. He swore over the radio at Gianpiero Lambiase after a close call with Norris.
