With rumours about possible sabbatical year for Max Verstappen, Lando Norris sees that the Dutchman is different from the rest, something he respects.
During the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, a rumour about Verstappen taking a break from the competition was reported.
Despite the British newspaper Daily Mail's article - GPblog has never heard from its sources that the Dutchman would opt for a (temporary) break.
His championship rival, Lando Norris, was also asked about the possibility of that happening. The Briton sees that Verstappen stands out in this regard as well.

"I don’t know with Max, he is different to most I would say," the McLaren driver is quoted by The Sun.
Norris also appreciates the way Verstappen approaches his career.
“Max wants to come in and win and show he is the best then go home, that’s his attitude, which I respect and like. You never know, he has said many times he wants to go do other racing in other categories and Max wants to enjoy his life."
"He is not here to try to be remembered forever and all those things. Max can do whatever he wants, I respect him," he concluded.
