Norris reflects on rumoured Verstappen sabbatical: 'Whatever he does, I respect him'

During the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, a rumour about Verstappen taking a break from the competition was reported.

Despite the British newspaper Daily Mail's article - GPblog has never heard from its sources that the Dutchman would opt for a (temporary) break.

His championship rival, Lando Norris, was also asked about the possibility of that happening. The Briton sees that Verstappen stands out in this regard as well.

"I don’t know with Max, he is different to most I would say," the McLaren driver is quoted by The Sun.

Norris also appreciates the way Verstappen approaches his career.

"He is not here to try to be remembered forever and all those things. Max can do whatever he wants, I respect him," he concluded.
