Norris gave a frustrated assessment of the contact after the race, though he said of Verstappen that “he ruined his race just as much as he ruined mine.”
Stella aired his annoyance, too, and said that Verstappen should expect to be patient in future if he is passed, because it is likely he will get the chance to re-overtake his rivals.
“We talked with Lando, I saw his comments,” Stella told media including PlanetF1.com after the race.
“I think he said the right things in saying ‘it’s a great battle, but there’s no need to act so desperately’.
