Amazing irony played by Verstappen and Norris: “The other day, we hit ourselves.”

Max Verstappen and Lando Norris They were two main characters for the 2024 season Formula 1. And then I saw what was seen in the preseason test. Bahrain The face will be seen again in the fight for the final 2025 title before a major change in regulations next year.

Despite fighting for the title, the relationship between the two has always been very good. Even after controversial frictions in Austria and Mexico last season. To be precise, both were asked at a preseason press conference held in Burrain on what their relationship was.

“Yes, our relationship is terrible. I don’t think we’ve got something fixed. It costs us a lot, it’s dramatic“Verstappen said with his usual sarcasm in the face of this type of question: Norris continued along the same line. “The other day we went to the pub. They had to take us out.” Without losing any humor, Verstappen added, “I always say the same thing and don’t know what other people will do, but I don’t really know how it looks.”

The next chapter of this funny duel will arrive this year 2025 at its first World Cup in Australia from March 14th to 16th. It was McLaren who marked the pattern during the preseason. Norris has the theoretical mechanical advantage. Nevertheless, Verstappen doesn’t have four titles in his credits for pure chance And we already know what abilities the Dutch of Red Bull have.
