In a recent interview that has now gained traction on social media, Lando Norris cheekily weighed in on a racing incident between his close friend Carlos Sainz and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.

Leclerc continued, highlighting the aggressive nature of the race and the battles between drivers. “I was also very aggressive on trying to attack him. So we were both on the limits, but honestly, I had a lot of fun, and we’ve had a lot of battles in the past, with these guys too, with Max, with Carlos, at the limit of the regulations, and this is what F1 should be. So it was a really enjoyable race.”
