Max Verstappen admits his team cannot afford 'messy' weekends to continue winning in Formula 1, such are the tight margins between Red Bull and McLaren ahead of this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix. Verstappen and Lando Norris have fought for the win in four of the last five events as the field has closed up since the latter won the Miami Grand Prix in early May.
Ideally, the drivers will want to be three seconds behind another car who is also on a flying lap to get a small benefit of the slipstream without being hindered by dirty air in the corners. However, the drivers will also back up before starting their lap in the final two corners, which now features gravel close to the edge of the circuit. It's an area which Norris is highly aware of and he believes certain drivers tend to allegedly block more than others.
