Pair were involved in series of incidents last seasonCarlos Sainz quickest in testing ahead of Lewis Hamilton
Max Verstappen and Lando Norriswere in fine fooling form at the pre-season test in Bahrain with the pair expectant of a closely fought but respectful contest on track when the world championship begins and poking fun at any notion of lingering tension between them.
Last season as they went head to head for the title in the second half of the year, friction rose between the two drivers. A series of on-track incidents, notably in Austria, Austin and Mexico, included the Dutch driver controversially forcing Norris off track. After the race in Mexico City, where Verstappen was penalised, Norris stated: “Today was not fair, clean racing, therefore he got what he had coming to him.”
