Max Verstappen expressed his frustration after winning the Austrian Grand Prix, but not without facing difficulties and a controversial collision with Lando Norris. However, Verstappen’s frustration was mainly directed towards his own Red Bull Formula 1 team, and not towards Norris. While Norris criticized Verstappen for his driving during the battle, Verstappen was more concerned with how his race had spiraled out of control. He criticized his team’s strategy and the disastrous pit stops that cost him valuable time. Verstappen admitted that everything went wrong and that he was complaining about the tires and the poor execution of the pit stops. Despite the collision with Norris, Verstappen’s frustration had been building up throughout the race. He was puzzled by his lack of pace in the final stretch and wondered if something was wrong with his car. Although Norris suggested that Verstappen should take responsibility for the collision, Verstappen believed that the time for discussion would come later. He acknowledged that accidents can happen in fierce battles for the lead and expressed his irritation while also recognizing Norris’s frustration.
