Norris blasts 'dangerous' Verstappen - but Sainz is big winner

- DANIEL MOXON

LANDO NORRIS branded Max Verstappen as "dangerous" after they renewed hostilities seven days on from their furious fight in Austin.

Norris lost ground to his title rival last weekend because of a penalty picked up while they duelled, though he was angry about Verstappen's aggressive defending.

It took just a handful of racing laps of the Mexican Grand Prix for them to be at each other's throats again.

Carlos Sainz won the race, his second victory of the season, despite having lost the lead to Verstappen on the first lap that also saw Yuki Tsunoda (right) go out in spectacular fashion.

But Sainz quickly got back ahead, leaving the Dutchman with title-chasing Norris on his tail.

And that was when the fireworks went off.
