Max Verstappen takes swipe at Lando Norris for lacking "respect" in qualifying incident

Max Verstappen felt he had been shown a lack of "respect" by Lando Norris in the Japanese Grand Prix qualifying incident that nearly landed him in hot water with the stewards.

The pair almost crashed during Q3 at Suzuka, when Norris overtook Verstappen on their out lap. The Dutchman was travelling very slowly as he approached the final chicane before starting a flying lap, and so the McLaren driver decided he did not want to wait and went to move past.

As he did so, Verstappen revved his Red Bull to try to get some temperature into his tyres ready for his hot lap. As he did so he briefly lost control of his car which twitched violently anti-clockwise, forcing Norris to head off the track at high speed to avoid a crash.
