Lando Norris appeared to aim a dig at Max Verstappen after watching footage of his incident with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Oscar Piastri won the Spanish GP, with Norris and Charles Leclerc finishing second and third respectively.

But the main talking point from the race in Barcelona was that of the shocking collision between Verstappen and Russell.

The Red Bull driver crashed into his rival on the penultimate lap after being asked to let him through.

However, he ignored team orders and bumped into the Mercedes driver, resulting in a penalty.

After the race, Piastri, Norris and Leclerc joined each other in the F1 cooldown room.

They watched back the Spanish GP and witnessed Verstappen seeing red during the race.

The replay of the incident stunned the Australian, while Leclerc said: "Oh my god!"

Norris reacted to Verstappen's moment of madness by joking: "I've done that before... in Mario Kart!"

The Verstappen-Russell crash is being investigated.

The Dutchman was in the picture for a possible race win and then after the safety car was deployed, it rapidly unravelled as he caused a collision with Russell, who finished fourth.

On winning the Spanish GP, McLaren's Piastri said: "It was a bit of a surprise to see Max Verstappen try a three-stop and it nearly worked for him, so yeah it was a great weekend overall though.

"The overall pace was really good and we could turn it on when we needed to and just very proud of the work we’ve done this weekend.

"It wasn’t the best first practice and then we got our stuff together, it’s a nice way to bounce back from Monaco, it’s been a superb weekend."

Norris added: "Oscar drove a very good race today. I didn't quite have the pace to match him. We gave it our best shot. It's a long race, anything could have happened at the end of the race.

"We both got pretty sideways with the safety car restart. It was a good, fun race and for us as a team to finish one-two is even better."
