Max Verstappen and Lando Norris battled it out for the F1 world title this year. It was the Red Bull driver who emerged victorious and clinched the championship at Las Vegas GP. Now, Verstappen and Norris are amidst a war of words over this fight.

The reigning world champion had claimed that he would’ve won the title much earlier if he was driving Lando Norris‘ McLaren. Norris responded to Max Verstappen‘s comments, claiming that it would simply not have been possible.

We don’t need to talk about [if Norris lost the championship graciously].We don’t need to spend time on trying to slag people off or whatever.

Max Verstappen added

Certainly, Max Verstappen seems to be unbothered when it comes to such discussions. The 27-year-old fulfilled his aim of winning the title and now is focused on the last two races. However, it remains to be seen if Lando Norris can make things difficult for Verstappen this weekend in Qatar.
