Verstappen and Norris inflamed the row of the weekend when they collided at Turn 3 on lap 64. The two had been leading the race comfortably but their tyres were ruined by the clash, with the former finishing fifth and the latter forced to retire. Verstappen was handed a 10-second time penalty by the stewards, who held him primarily at fault, while Norris was given a five-second sanction for exceeding track limits - not that it mattered, given his retirement. Norris blamed Verstappen for moving under braking consistently during the race and for driving him off track, while the Dutchman claimed he had been 'divebombed' by the Englishman.
