MEXICO CITY — Lando Norris said title rival Max Verstappen's driving at the Mexico City Grand Prix went beyond what was acceptable.

Norris was forced wide at Turn 4 and then had to drive off track to avoid Verstappen completely at Turn 8 as they battled for position early in the race.

Verstappen was handed two 10-second penalties for the incidents. «I knew what to expect,» Norris said immediately after the race. «I didn't want to expect such a thing, because I respect Max a lot as a driver, but I was ready to expect something like this.

This is not very clean driving in my opinion, but I avoided it and it was a good race.» Norris finished second, while the penalties dropped Verstappen down the order, finishing sixth — Norris is now 47 points behind with four races to go.
