The anticipation for the Formula One event is sky-high following the contentious clash between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris at the Austrian Grand Prix last weekend. The incident saw Norris attempting an audacious lead grab, only to collide with Verstappen, forcing the Brit to bow out early while Verstappen limped to a fifth-place finish after pitting.

The Dutchman was slapped with a 10-second penalty for sparking the tangle, and despite Norris initially indicating he'd lose "respect" for the three-time world champion if he dodged blame. He has since retracted his fiery words.
