Norris and Brown agree with Verstappen: "This is amazing"

After the incident Norris decided to call Max Verstappen, who expressed his disbelief. Norris was leading the virtual IndyCar game when Pageanud slowed down considerably and deliberately hit the young Briton. That action was said to be retaliation for an incident several laps before, when Pagenaud was forced to relinquish the lead after an action by Norris.

Pagenaud had to go to the pit lane and then announced: "We take out Lando, let’s do it," The 35 year old IndyCar-pilot said after the crash of Norris: "Oh, I was pitting, I didn't mean to crash him". Noris says about the incident: "Even his spotter says, 'Let’s frickin do this.' Yeah, bold strategy, mate,. It's amazing."

Norris continues his story. "I even said it before, 'Pagenaud’s about to take me out,' and my spotter was like, 'Yeah we’ll see about that.' Two seconds later, I’m flipping around. What a loser", said the 20-year-old driver, who gets support from Brown on Twitter. "This is not what you expect from a champion."
