Verstappen is a nightmare on track for friend Norris and foe Hamilton

For those who still had doubts whether Max Verstappen would be as tough in a battle with his close friend, the answer came in Austin. Whether your name is Lewis Hamilton or Lando Norris, Max Verstappen will do everything he can to beat you. It doesn't matter how.

In Austria, it became clear that this was not the case for Verstappen. Friend or not, you don't easily pass Verstappen on the track. Norris paid for that with a DNF in Austria, but he had not yet learned his lesson from that. In Austin, he let himself down again. Read the full column here.
