Kodwa-ke, ukugqama komjaho kuthathwe impi ephakathi kukaMax Verstappen noLando Norris.
UNorris uqede isithathu kodwa wehliselwa endaweni yesine ngemuva kokuthola inhlawulo yemizuzwana emihlanu yokuphuma ngaphandle, okuvumele uVerstappen ukuthi athole indawo yokugcina endaweni kwi-podium.
Ukushuba kwesimo phakathi kwezimbangi uVerstappen noNorris kubonakale izigameko ezimbili ekuqaleni nasekupheleni komjaho.

“Ngisacabanga ukuthi besisendaweni yesithathu, uma ubheka ukuthi uMax uphumile emzileni. Ngokujwayelekile, uma usivikela isikhundla sakho bese uphuma emzileni, kufanele usiyeke isikhundla,” kusho uNorris ngemuva komjaho.
“Kuleso simo bengiphambili, ngayigcina indawo yami ngoba ubedinga ukusibuyisela, futhi kunjalo nje.”
ULeclerc ushayele kahle kakhulu, esebenzisa impi kaVerstappen noNorris ukuze avikele ukunqoba kwakhe. Yize eqede endaweni yesithathu, uVerstappen welule ukuhola kwakhe kompetha wafinyelela kumaphuzu angu-57.
