Lando Norris: Late Clash with Max Verstappen
Norris clashed with Max Verstappen in the closing laps and finished 20th in the Austrian Grand Prix F1 race at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg on Sunday afternoon.
Analysis:
The McLaren star would be every bit the equal to Verstappen for most of the grand prix. The two would battle multiple times jockeying for the lead. After several overtake attempts were frustrated by Verstappen's determined defending, the two would clash in turn 3 of lap 63. Both cars would puncture tyres and receive damage. While Verstappen would pit to change tyres and continue on, Norris wouldn't be so fortunate. Damage received would send him behind the wall for the day with the devastating DNF and 20th-place finish.
