Lando Norris gives telling interview after finding out Max Verstappen comment was picked up by Sky Sports microphones

Lando Norris was quizzed on his Max Verstappen comment after a feisty end to the Spanish Grand Prix.

On Sunday afternoon, McLaren star Oscar Piastri put on a masterclass around the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as he took the chequered flag ahead of Norris and Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc.

While the McLarens were leading the pack, all the drama happened behind them towards the closing stages of the Grand Prix.

On lap 64, Verstappen and George Russell collided at Turn 5 after the Dutchman was instructed to concede P4 to the Mercedes driver following a slight coming together on lap 61.

After the pair banged wheels at Turn 5, Verstappen eventually let Russell through at Turn 12.

However, Verstappen was later handed a 10-second penalty, which dropped him to P10.

After the race, Norris was heard saying: "I've done that before...on Mario Kart," when watching replays of the incident inside the cooldown room with Piastri and Leclerc.

During his post-race interview, Norris was asked: "You said you've seen that (Verstappen vs Russell incident) on Mario Kart before, what did you make of..."

Before Sky Sports reporter Rachel Brookes could finish her question, Norris smiled and said: "Oh, they heard that?"

The McLaren star continued: "Right, no comment."

After Brookes asked about the Verstappen incident again, Norris quickly changed the subject and focussed on his own race.

The 25-year-old said: "My race was very good today and the team had a great one-two. I was happy with my pace. It was just too difficult to follow [Piastri] around the track like this."

Brookes then added: "I'll put another spin on it then, if kids are watching and they're go-karting and they try a move on that, they've seen that before in a Formula 1 race, is it an example that should be set?"

Norris simply replied: "That's not for me to say, you know the answer." You can watch the footage below.

Reacting to the drama, Verstappen himself said: "I prefer to speak about the race rather than one single moment.

"I think we are way too slow to fight for the title, that was clear again today."

F1 will return later in the month when the Canadian Grand Prix takes place around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on June 15.
