Spectacular comeback that of the Dutch Red Bull which comes second to Saudi Arabian GP. He didn't manage to take the victory, but he exalted the fans with staggering lap times. There is one concern to slow down the reigning champion: one weird noise from drive shaft, the replacement for the broken one that forced him to retire in the yesterday's qualifications. Also favored by a lucky Safety car, Verstappen overtook rival after rival to crush rivals with one RB19 really uncatchable, though still fragile at times. In the end, number 33 did the fastest lap to jokingly mock the team who told him to go easy.
Verstappen happy with the podium
The Dutchman says he is satisfied with the second position: “It wasn't that easy to put back together. In the first sector we slipped a lot. But when I passed everyone we got into our rhythm and I'm very happy to be on the podium. Drive shaft? Maybe something was wrongbut only at the end. We had no way to get Checo back, so I decided to give up and settle for second place. Still, it was a good comeback. I gave everything in the end to sign the fastest lap".
