McLaren driver Lando Norris had a hilarious conversation about Max Verstappen with a Dutch reporter from Ziggo TV. During the brief exchange with the reporter, the Briton jokingly asked him to interview only Fernando Alonso and not Max Verstappen!

He then suggested the Ziggo TV reporter complete his work by interviewing Alonso again, instead of Verstappen, by saying:

“Just interview Fernando. Everyone wants to see Fernando. No one wants to see Max, he was P2 so.”
