Helmut Marko’s ‘unnecessarily fierce’ verdict on Max Verstappen-Lando Norris clash
Helmut Marko gives his𒉰 view on that Max Verstappen clash with Lando Norris.

Helmut Marko has described 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s incident with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris as ‘unnecessarily fierce’ following a dramatic Aus𒀰trian Grand Prix.
When battling for the lead on Lap 64, Ve🐬rstappen and Norris came to bl💧ows at Turn 3.
Verstappen veered slightly left under 🌼braking into Norris’ path.
The contact resulted in punctures for both drivers, handing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell an unlikely victory at the Red Bull Ring.
Verstaಞppen was handed a 10-second time penalty for his role in the incident - a penalty which proved to be inconsequential to his final finishing posi💮tion of fifth.
Conversely, Norris was forced to retire from the race🎃 due to꧒ damage.
Reflecting on the rac🎐e, Marko told ServusTV: “We lost t꧙he victory due to several factors.
“The fact that our pit stop went wrong, which put Lando in DRS r🌃ange. We expected that the hard tyres would be the better choice, but that turned out to not be the case. The temperatures were lower than expected.
“That meant Lando had new tyres in his last stint and we were on used. That was also a factor. Max also locked up after his pit stop in Turn ꦚ4. All that together 🍎made it difficult for us.”

Marko conceded that Red Bull potentially should have 💝intervened as Norris was under investigation for track limits and was hit with a five-second time penalty shortly after they collided on Lap 64.
꧟“I think they both drove unnecesꩲsarily fiercely,” Marko added.
“In doing so, maybe we should have interven𝄹ed as well, bec💎ause we knew there was an investigation going on about Lando and track limits. We just didn’t know yet if he would be punished.
“With hindsight you can then say, ‘okay, let him go.’ But let’s look on the b🌱right side:🦩 we increased our lead in both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships.
“It was a great fight until it soᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚﷺᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚmehow degenerated. Who brakes where, who grabs more track limits, instead of focusing on a fair finish.”
