Max Verstappen believes it is “unrealistic” that he will be able to stop Lando Norris from winning the world championship after accusing Red Bull of his turning his title-winning machine into a “monster”.
Verstappen started seventh and made up just one position at Monza’s Temple of Speed on Sunday to allow Norris, who crossed the line in third, to eat into his championship lead.
Norris has taken 16 points out of Verstappen in the last two races, and now trails the Dutchman by 62 points with eight rounds still remaining.
