<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/verstappen-surprised-after-clinching-sprint-pole-position-23654297" rel="nofollow">Max Verstappen</a> slammed his Red Bull stablemate Liam Lawson as &ldquo;not very smart&rdquo; after a Friday practice crash that saw both hit with one-place grid penalties for the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Ferrari&rsquo;s Charles Leclerc topped the times ahead of world champion <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/one-of-the-best-laps-of-my-career-mclarens-norris-23649746" rel="nofollow">Lando Norris</a> of McLaren in an eventful session that saw Kimi Antonelli wind up fourth as he closes in on the title.&nbsp;
Red Bull&rsquo;s four-time champion Verstappen was embroiled in an incident that left him with damaged bodywork, tangling with Racing Bulls&rsquo;s Lawson in a feisty fight for track position going into the Foro Sol section.&nbsp;
Verstappen said New Zealand&rsquo;s Lawson caused the trouble near turn 12, their minor collision spewing debris over the circuit and causing the session to be red-flagged for the track to be cleared.&nbsp;
&ldquo;It was not unlucky. It was not very smart behaviour by him in what he was trying to do there. But it is not going to change my weekend,&rdquo; said the Dutchman. Both drivers were summoned by the stewards, who found they behaved in a manner that was &ldquo;unacceptable&rdquo; and handed out the penalty.
