Is there water in the gas between Norris and Verstappen? In recent years, the two men have formed a special relationship in the paddock. The top two in the World Championship standings regularly share their plane to return home after the Grand Prix. But in recent weeks, relations between the two men seem to have changed, in particular because of the rivalry on the track and the various very tense actions between the Dutchman and the Englishman.
“I’m not even sure their friendship still exists.”
Questioned on this subject, Ralf Schumacher, the brother of Michael Schumacher, now a commentator for Formel1, spoke on this subject by confirming the rumors circulating in the paddock: “It's difficult to maintain friendships when you're actually fighting for the championship and positions, as is the case here. They did not travel together for the last few races, as they were used to. I'm not even sure their friendship still exists“, he explained. It would not be the first time that two drivers who are friends in life have seen their relationship deteriorate because of racing rivalry, Lewis Hamilton knows something about that.
