What started out as a weekend where Max was annoyed due to a 'terrible' feeling, has become theyet another triumphal weekend for the champion of Red Bull.
Verstappen dominates
Max didn't hesitate to lay down the law. The Dutch immediately surpassed the yesterday's poleman, being able to impose his frenetic rhythm right from the start. The number 1 gained half a second per lap on the two McLarens, also guaranteeing himself a pit stop without seeing his leadership violated. A solo race for him, who led the race without ever giving up first position, setting times that were unthinkable for anyone. Verstappen crossed the finish line thirty seconds behind Norris, also setting the fastest lap.
Verstappen's pride in the team
Max initially reflected on the departure: “We finally managed to get off to a great start, we worked on it a lot and managed to find the right clutch release. I managed to find the inside and at that point I knew the corner was mine. I braked late and from then on I knew I would have my race."
Regarding the feeling with the single-seater, Max responded like this: “On the flying lap we suffered, but today we went well and managed the tires well to create such a huge advantage.” On the monster statistics, Max said: “For the team, 12 consecutive victories are incredible. We hope to continue like this for a long time. "
