According to former standby bad boy Juan Pablo Montoya, what Lando Norris is doing with Max Verstappen is a joke. The sacrificial pose, the pressure to conform, all the kind of displays that are not typical of a true world championship challenger...
Montoya claims that Norris is complicating the situation for himself with his stance towards Verstappen. It would be hard to disagree with him!
"Lando is a very talented, fast and clean driver, but what he does is a joke. You can't fight for the world championship against the qualities of Max Verstappen by telling him how much you respect him and that he is the best driver in the world, and then apologizing for something you didn't even do... Don't get me wrong, you can think it in your head, but no one should say it publicly because it shows weakness! I like Lando a lot, but it wouldn't hurt him if he kept his mouth shut and put aside the role of the victim. No one has ever won a world championship with that attitude!" - was the harsh and absolutely justified criticism from the former F1 driver.
