YOU'RE HAVING A LAUGH, MAX

Norris brushes off 'comedian' Verstappen's car taunt

IF Max Verstappen does quit Formula One young, as he keeps threatening to, he could start a new career in stand-up comedy.

At least Lando Norris thinks so, after laughing off a taunt from the Dutchman (above) following his fourth straight title success.

Verstappen got the job done last Sunday, finishing ahead of Norris in Las Vegas to finally end the Brit's championship dreams.

And the Red Bull racer, 27, gloated: "Would I have become champion in the McLaren? Yes, and much earlier too."
