The 27-year-old driver said, “It's no point in discussing it now, emotions are running high. I woke up (after the race) quite early in the morning and I wanted to talk with him. But he already texted me on Monday and my emotions are a bit lower and I respect that a lot. And we are great friends and he is a very nice guy honestly.”

Verstappen was also very disappointed to fight with his friend Lando Norris during the race. But it is ok for him as he enjoys that a lot as they used to go racing not only on the race track but also while playing racing games online.
