Brundle calls Verstappen dangerous: 'This was outrageous!'

Brundle calls Verstappen dangerous: 'This was outrageous!'

Martin Brundle argues that Verstappen was downright dangerous during the incident with Lando Norris. The Sky Sports commentator felt Verstappen went too far during the Mexican GP.

"I'm sorry, Max. That was outrageous," Brundle revealed during the British broadcaster's broadcast. "I had a feeling he would have something else coming his way. The first one was rude and cheeky, the second one was just plain dangerous. That's just about a full pit stop, for a penalty."

Was Verstappen driving dangerously in Mexico?

Brundle thereby said the same thing as Lando Norris stated from his cockpit. After the incident, Norris shouted over the team radio that Verstappen was driving dangerously and doing the same as in Austin. According to Norris, he had to avoid a crash in a duel with Verstappen.

Verstappen himself was unaware of any wrongdoing. The Dutchman thought the 20-second time penalty he received from the stewards was silly. Verstappen also pointed at Norris, who had gone off track and held his position, but Norris was not penalised for this incident.
