F1 Japanese GP: Lando Norris expected Max Verstappen penalty after ‘clear’ qualifying block
Verstappen pipped F1 title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc to claim pole position by just 0.010s in Japan, but the Red Bull drive🔯r was investigated by the stewards following a scary moment with Norris during Q3, but escaped with a reprimand so the grid will not change.
The Dutchman lost control of the rear of his car as he tried to warm his tyres on an out lap, forcing 🐓the quicker Norris to take to the grass at the flatꦯ-out 130R to avoid a collision.
Norris𝓡 pinned the blame on Verstappen for a “clear” block and believes the champion-elect should have been punished.
"It was quite clear he tried to do that [bloc🎃k me], yeah,” Norris told Sky▨.
"There’s no rule on what you can do, but doing what he did is s♏o🍌mething that you cannot do.
“꧟P🅠eople always overtake before the last corner, as much as everyone always agrees to it, everyone always does it, so it doesn’t matter.
“He probably would have done the same if he wa𝕴s in my situation, but I wouldn’t have swerved at him if I was in his situati𝓀on.”
Asked if he expects Verstappen to be penalised, Norris replied: "Oh y🐻eah, ♕for sure.”
ꦅBut Verstappen felt Norris was ꦅat fault for creating the scenario by trying to overtake him in the first place, accusing the Briton of a lack of respect.
"We were on our outlap and we were all lining up to create a gap to everyone and then somehow he still wanted to get ♍me into the chicane,” Verstappen explained.
“But I was on the point of accelerating and I was on very cold tyres, so Iജ had a little moment and that’s why he had to drive around me.&n🉐bsp;
“But if he had just a bit more respect for me, because everyone is anyway lining up and I don’t think anyone is trying to pass into that last chicane,🍒 so by trying to pass me you create that kind of thing.”
