As video from the Spanish Grand Prix surfaced, Lando Norris was taken aback by Max Verstappen’s altercation.

Following their collision during qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix, Lando Norris’ response upon seeing that Charles Leclerc had received a warning was extensively circulated on social media.

During FP3, Leclerc was having an incredible lap until Norris got in the way and he had to slow down.

When questioned if he had moved into Norris to make a point, Leclerc said, “No, no, no.” You know, you’re usually annoyed when you do that, but you’re afraid to touch it because, well, in FP3, damaging the car is the last thing you want to do. obtained qualification immediately thereafter.
