Christian Horner believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s skirmish with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris on the exit of the pit lane was “perfectly fair” after taking the win at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.

Verstappen delivered a masterclass a𒈔t Suzuka to take his first victory of the 2025 F1 season.

The Dutchm🌞an pipped the two McLarens to pole and controlled the race from the front of the field.

A ﷽slower Red Bull pit s✱top for Verstappen at the end of Lap 21 meant he was side-by-side with Norris on the exit of the pit lane.

Norris attempted to overtake Verstappen on the grꦍass, but th🦹e reigning world champion narrowly covered it off.

The ste▨wards noted the incident before deeming that no investigation was necessary.

Horner felt that Verstappen was completely right to defend from Norris onಞ the exit of the pit lane.

Reflecting on the race to Sky Sports, Horner said: “It was dif༒ficult. The undercut wasn’t so powerful today. They tried to dummy us, early in the race, with a call for Lando.

“We could see you would come out into traffic🐬. So we stuck to our guns and they gave Oscar the first pit stop.

🅘“Then, it was obvious they would pit on the next lap with Lando so we covered that. It was tight on the pit exit. But, perfectly fair. It was a flat-o📖ut race, there was no tyre saving.”

One of Max Verstappen’s best weekends in F1

Verstappen’s first victory since Brazil means he sit🍬s just one point behind Norris at the top of the drivers’ championship after three rounds.

Des🐷pite not having the fastest car in F1, Verstappen has continued to extract the maximum f🎶rom the RB21 so far in 2025.

Horner🎃 hailed Verstap🐈pen’s weekend in Japan as one of his best.

“Max is one point behind now. For us, all priority is on the dri𝕴vers’ championship,” Horner added. “The constructors’ will be hard. But it’s a long year and you never give up.

“Max without any debate is the best driver in the world currently. But you’re a team. Not a driver and a car. You win and lose together. We kꦡnow this car has its vices, and where we need to improve.

“We turned it upside down this weekend to get the car into a window that Max could make use of. This championship is a marathon. It can change quickly. It will beꦗ about development - there🤪 is a big change coming at race nine.

“Max was a꧟t the top of his game.⛄ That was one of the best weekends he has had in Formula 1.”
