[Saba Sports News] Regarding the incident during the Spanish Grand Prix where Red Bull driver Max Verstappen collided with Mercedes driver George Russell, McLaren driver Lando Norris, who won the race, was questioned by the media about the event. However, Norris humorously responded, saying: “I’ve done the same thing… in Mario Kart.” Norris knows he is in a sensitive position, as a fellow driver, he needs to maintain good relations among peers while avoiding offending anyone easily. The editor believes that his humorous response not only expressed concern for the incident but also avoided explicitly taking a stance, preventing him from being directly involved in the dispute between Verstappen, Russell, and their respective teams, demonstrating the wisdom and tact of a professional driver. This not only helps enhance his image and popularity but also adds some light-hearted elements to the F1 racing scene, making this competitive sport more interesting and engaging amidst its tension.
