F1: Verstappen should consider a career in comedy: Lando Norris

DOHA: Lando Norris has suggested Max Verstappen consider a career in comedy after the quadruple world champion claimed he would have also won this season’s Formula One (F1) title if driving a McLaren or a Ferrari instead of a Red Bull.

Verstappen told Dutch reporters after clinching his fourth successive crown in Las Vegas last Saturday that he would have wrapped it up a lot sooner in Norris’s McLaren.

He said it would have been “pretty much the same” in a Ferrari but the Mercedes car “would have been trickier”.

“He should start doing comedy or something,” said Lando Norris, closest title rival of Verstappen, when asked about the comments ahead of this weekend’s Qatar Grand Prix.
