Lando Norris has admitted he now expects Max Verstappen to come at him with potentially illegal driving moves after the pair went wheel to wheel at the Mexico City Grand Prix and that the Dutchman, who he said had not offered a “clean fight”, had deserved the penalties he was given.
Verstappen was twice penalised for what were deemed unacceptable moves, in both defence and attack, against Norris early in the race. The world championship leader was given two 10-second penalties for the incidents and subsequently finished sixth, with Norris second. Verstappen had been similarly aggressive at the last round in Austin and Norris was disappointed his title rival was choosing to drive in such an uncompromising fashion.
