Norris takes advantage of Verstappen struggles

Speaking over team radio on Lap 14, the three-time champion bemoaned his car's inability to turn with the precision required, before turning his attention towards his tires on Lap 17, as he said: 'My tires are just numb, they don't grip.'

His resistance didn't last long, finally passed by Norris one lap later after the Brit took advantage of DRS to breeze past the Red Bull star and move in front.

Having fallen several seconds behind in the following laps, Verstappen once again voiced his displeasure as he watched his title challenger race off into the distance.

"I can’t go faster, he admitted. 'The car doesn’t respond to my inputs.'
