Norris welcomes Verstappen talking 'nonsense'

"He's won four world championships. I have a lot of respect, and I think that gives anyone a lot of credit in general. He's achieved an incredible amount, more than anyone generally dreams of achieving. Max generally has a good clue about a lot of things, but there's also a lot of things he doesn't have much of a clue about."

"It's also Red Bull's way of going about things. It's this kind of aggressive nature and just talking nonsense a lot of the time. It depends if you want to listen to it and talk about it like you [the media] love to, or you do what we do as a team, which is just kind of keep our heads down, keep focused. Maybe he would have done [won the title in a McLaren], but he hasn't so far."

Lando Norris welcomes Max Verstappen talking “nonsense” about the title fight while insisting on maintaining full focus on winning the world championship. Verstappen claimed he would have easily won the title if his car had been as competitive as Norris’ McLaren. Verstappen sits 25 points behind Norris after finishing fourth in the Qatar sprint, with Norris third. A Norris victory in the penultimate grand prix would mathematically eliminate Verstappen from contention. Norris attributes some comments to Red Bull’s aggressive approach and emphasizes his team’s strategy of keeping heads down and staying focused.
