Red Bull driver Max Verstappen and McLaren driver Lando Norris talk after 2024 Spanish Grand Prix qualifying.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and McLaren’s Lando Norris.
Former McLaren and Red Bull driver David Coulthard said Max Verstappen is unlikely to apologise to Lando Norris for their collision in Austria on Sunday.
Norris called for an apology after the pair made contact while dicing for the lead in the closing stages at the Red Bull Ring, with Verstappen given a 10-second penalty and two penalty points for being judged predominantly responsible for causing a collision between the two at Turn 3.

‘Hell freezing over, I think is the expression’ over Max Verstappen apology
The McLaren driver said after the race that he would “lose a lot of respect” for his friend and rival if an apology is not forthcoming for his role in their coming together, with Norris forced to retire after their contact and Verstappen pitting after both drivers had rear punctures.
Verstappen was able to get back out on track and finish fifth come the chequered flag, but a race win had appeared almost certain prior to a slow final stop from Red Bull that brought Norris back into contention.
As for apologising to Norris, 13-time Grand Prix winner Coulthard thinks that is an unlikely prospect.
“Hell freezing over, I think is the expression,” Coulthard said on Channel 4 when the prospect was put to him of Verstappen apologising to Norris for their contact.
