BUDAPEST: McLaren’s Lando Norris said he had no intention of changing his “nice guy” behaviour after he outpaced world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull to top the times on Friday in a sweltering second free practice ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

The 24-year-old Briton, who trails Red Bull’s three-time champion by 84 points in the drivers’ title race, reacted on and off the track after it was suggested he is not ruthless or aggressive enough to be a consistent winner.
