Norris should learn to ovetake.

Max was at fault for the ultimate collision but Norris could have wiped them both out with a couple of the attempted overtakes. The one he divebombed from way too far back and went off the track. And the one down the inside where he force Verstappen off. Both really stupid from Norris.

I think that's harsh. Verstappen is very good at pushing the limits of what he is allowed to do to make overtaking him as hard as possible, which is why Norris was having to take a few risks to get by.

Strange conclusion to come to when it was Verstappen who crashed into Norris.....but hey-ho.

Norris doesn't seem as ruthless as he needs to be to overtake someone like Verstappen who is going to defend as hard as possible at every opportunity. He needs to improve that.

How did Verstappen beat Perez by 30+ seconds when he drove half a lap with 3 tyres.

Perez isn't any good

I'd agree with that - Norris is a very good driver but his racecraft needs work. Good to see Max Verstappen remains a nutjob when put under pressure though, it's been too long since we've seen that side of him.

Think that's a bit harsh . Anthony Davidson done a brilliant dissection of all the moves at the hairpin and the amount Max was changing direction in the braking zone each time was pretty wild, really dangerous.

The one where Norris locked up and went wide wasn't helped by Max moving across causing Norris to adjust his line while full on the brakes causing the lockup.

The one where he 'forced 'max off was noted that he came in at a much shallower line than the previous few laps basically as he had no confidence in Max keeping to his line so had a much tighter turn in , which he made but max just put the boot down off the track and kept his position. Interestingly almost a carbon copy of a legal move Max made in the same corner to take the lead off leclerc a few years back except that max actually made contact in that one blatantly bumping his way through.
