Helmut Marko’s ‘unnecessarily fierce’ verdict on Max Verstappen-Lando Norris clash
Helmut Marko gives his view on that Max V🐻erstappen clash with Lando Norris.

Helmut Marko has described 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s incident with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris as ‘unnecessarily fierce’ following a♐ dramatic A♏ustrian Grand Prix.
When battling for the lead on Lap 64, Versta🤪ppen and Norris c🔜ame to blows at Turn 3.
Verstappen veered slightly lef💞t under braking into Norris’ path.
The contact resulted in punctures for both drivers, handing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell an unlikely victory at the Red Bull Ring.
Verstappen was handed a 10-ꦛsecond time penalty for his role in the incident - a penalty which proved to be inconsequential to his final finishing position of fifth.
Conversely, Norris was forced to r💃etire from the race due to damage.
Reflecting on the race, Marko told ServusTV: “We lost the victory due to 🧔several factors.
“The fact that our pit stop went wrong, which put Lando in DRS range. We expected that the hard tyres would be the bett♒er choice, but that turned out to not b🎉e the case. The temperatures were lower than expected.
“That meant Lando had new tyres in his last stint and we were on🃏 u⛄sed. That was also a factor. Max also locked up after his pit stop in Turn 4. All that together made it difficult for us.”

Marko conceded that Red Bull potentially should have ꦏintervened as Norris was under investigation for track limits and was hit with a five-second time penalty shortly after they collided on Lap 64.
“I think they b꧃oth drove unnecessarily fiercely,” Marko adꦦded.
“In 🌼doing so, maybe we should have intervened as well, because we knew there was an investigation go🍬ing on about Lando and track limits. We just didn’t know yet if he would be punished.
“With hindsight 💯you can then say, ‘okay, let him go.’ But let’s look on the bright side: we increased our lead in both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships.
“It was a great fight until it somehow deܫgenerated. Who brakes where, who grabs more track limits, instead o𒊎f focusing on a fair finish.”
