During the post-race press conference, both drivers were asked whether they felt Norris would have still had a chance of winning the race without the fortuitous safety car period.
Verstappen first answered: "I don't know what the gap was, to be honest, before the Safety Car. How far were you behind me?"
Norris replied: "It would have been tough. I would have had to overtake two Ferraris, a Red Bull, Oscar. Oscar was doing a very good job, so hats off to him…"
Then Verstappen caught everybody in the room off guard with a comical remark about his parents.
He started: "I mean, it's always if, if, if, right?
"If my mum had balls, she would be my dad. So, yeah. I mean, it's how it goes to racing.
"Sometimes it works out for you, sometimes it doesn't."
Norris tried to hide his amusement while others on social media noticed similarities between Verstappen's comment and an infamous remark from celebrity chef D'Acampo 14 years ago.
