It is a trait of the all-time greats, in Formula 1 or any sport: they can be so friendly in their dealings, in the end they are all about self-interest. They want to be the best, they want to win and they will do anything to win. At the expense of everyone, even their closest friends. Max Verstappen may seem like such a person to the outside world; an athlete who prefers winning over friendship. The handling of the incident with Lando Norris in Austria proves otherwise. Even in the absolute top, you can be friends with your rival, is the Dutchman's belief.
