Even before Lando Norris and Max Verstappen came together at the Austrian Grand Prix, the Birt was not impressed by the Dutchman's movements on track. On lap 62 of Sunday's race, a collision between the two championship leaders caused punctures for the pair of them. For Norris, it resulted in a DNF, whereas Verstappen recovered and finished in P5, extending his lead in the drivers' standings despite receiving a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision.
