This is the true measure of Max Verstappen. Already punctured and damaged car and *STILL* forcing Lando Norris off the track. The dirtiest driver on the 2024 grid. #F1

@Jontys_Corner Something interesting to me is how nobody is talking about the second move. He's pushing Lando onto the grass on purpose.
