Damon Hill Criticizes Max Verstappen's Tactics

Max Verstappen has come under fire for his aggressive driving tactics against Lando Norris during recent Formula 1 races, particularly at the Mexican Grand Prix, where he received a combined 20-second penalty for forcing Norris off the track. Damon Hill, the 1996 world champion, criticized Verstappen's actions, likening them to the underhanded methods of the cartoon character Dick Dastardly, stating that Verstappen made no attempts to race fairly. Norris, who finished second in Mexico, described Verstappen's driving as 'dangerous', and McLaren's CEO also condemned his tactics. Hill pointed out that Verstappen's approach reflects a lack of character and fairness in racing. Despite the criticism, Verstappen remains focused on his championship lead, asserting he will not dwell on the penalties. The rivalry continues as the season heads into its final races, with Verstappen aiming for a fourth consecutive title.
