Lando Norris gives his comment on Max Verstappen’s collision with George Russell: “I’ve done that before… in Mario Kart”.
On lap 61 of the Spanish Grand Prix, after the race was restarted following a Safety Car period, George Russell attempted to overtake Max Verstappen, but the two drivers made contact.
Verstappen then cut across to the inner escape road and returned to the track ahead of Russell, which led to his engineer telling him to give the position back.
On lap 64, it appeared that Verstappen was letting George through, however as the Briton pulled alongside, Verstappen ran into the side of his car.

Ultimately Verstappen received a post-race ten-second penalty, and got demoted from P5 to P10.
While the top three drivers were watching the incident in the cooldown room, second-placed Lando Norris said he had done a move like that, but only in the Nintendo video game Mario Kart.
“I’ve done that before… in Mario Kart,” Norris said.
