Former stand-by villain Juan Pablo Montoya considers what Lando Norris says about Max Verstappen a joke. The sacrifice, the pressure to adapt, all expressions that are not characteristic of a real contender for the world title...
Montoya claims that Norris is making things harder for himself with the way he's treating Verstappen. It would be hard to disagree with him!
"Lando is a very talented, fast and clean racer, but what he does is a joke. Against qualities like Max Verstappen, you can't fight for the world championship by telling him how much you respect him and that he's the best racer in the world, and then apologizing for something you didn't even do... Don't get me wrong, you can think that, but don't say it publicly because it shows weakness! I like Lando a lot, but it wouldn't hurt if he kept his mouth shut and stopped playing the victim. No one has ever won a world championship with that attitude!" - was the serious and completely justified criticism from the former F1 racer.
