In a dramatic turn of events at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Max Verstappen once again played the role of detective, this time snitching on Lando Norris for an illegal move during the race. Verstappen, with his eagle eye, spotted Norris’ mistake of positioning his car incorrectly on the grid, leading to a five-second penalty for the McLaren driver.

The qualifying session saw Norris starting in P6, while Verstappen had to settle for P7 on the grid. However, it was during the race that Verstappen’s sharp observation came into play, as he alerted the officials about Norris’ grid box error, ultimately resulting in a penalty for the young driver.

Norris, who had made a strong start and climbed to P3 early in the race, was left frustrated by the penalty, which cost him a potential one-two finish for McLaren. Despite his efforts to recover from the setback, Norris had to settle for a lower position due to the penalty imposed.
