Max Verstappen and Lando Norris have been friends since their karting days, but their friendship was put to the test as they battled for the F1 title.
Verstappen ultimately came out on top, winning his fourth consecutive championship. However, he believes that social media exaggerated the tension between them, with “idiots” making their relationship sound worse than it actually was.
The two drivers had a few on-track clashes, including in Austria, Austin, and Mexico City, but Verstappen says that their friendship remains strong. He even recalls a moment where his dad helped calm him down after a frustrating qualifying session in Sao Paulo, which ultimately led to a stunning win and helped him secure the championship.
Verstappen’s comments on social media are likely a response to the intense scrutiny and criticism that drivers face online, and he’s right to point out that it’s not always an accurate reflection of reality .
It’s interesting to hear Lando Norris’ perspective on their friendship as well, with him saying that people think they’re closer than they actually are.
Meanwhile, Jos Verstappen, Max’s dad, thinks that it might be challenging for the two drivers to maintain their friendship in the future.
Despite the challenges, Verstappen is looking forward to the next season, where he’ll have the chance to join Michael Schumacher on a record five consecutive titles.
