Verstappen Dominates Austrian Sprint, Leaving Mercedes in Disarray

Max Verstappen says a post-race discussion with Sergio Perez resolved any anger after incidents at the start of the Austrian Grand Prix sprint. Perez took the lead but forced Verstappen onto the grass, and both went deep at Turn 3. Verstappen won the race and said they talked about it afterwards, with Perez explaining that he hadn't realized how quickly Verstappen had pulled alongside. Verstappen downplayed the incident's significance and said there was no need to make it a big story.
