Max Verstappen versus Lando Norris has threatened to be the rivalry that would headline Formula One for the next decade.
After three world championships – two pretty much uncontested – in a row, the dominant Dutchman finally appears to have a challenger at the front of the grid in the form of an old rival. And Norris just happens to be one of his friends.
Verstappen and Norris have known each other for a lot of their lives. You may have seen the various photos from 2013 from their karting days.
Just two years separate the pair – Verstappen is 26 and Norris 24 – who grew up together. They were rivals but friends, though the latter may now be slipping following drama at the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday.
Their rivalry came to a head in very public fashion, with both left angry after a collision cost them both the chance of victory. Their races were ruined but their friendship was tested, too.
