The two-time champion mentioned: “Today was a great day, I stayed out of hassle at the starting and I had a easy race, I picked the vehicles off one after the other. I had a great stint on the onerous tyres which I feel was integral to the win as we speak.
“I had a good battle with Checo towards the end there too. I of course had the advantage with the new tyres but I think that’s what we like to see, we are free to race. Yesterday was a bit of a setback, today we kept it calm and clean, and winning the race from P9 was very satisfying,” Verstappen advised Red Bull Racing’s press office.

Perez secured his second pole place in a row, nonetheless he was barely fortuitous as Verstappen struggled in Q3 and was unable to have a last crack due to Charles Leclerc’s crash that drew a purple flag.
The Mexican spoke to Red Bull’s inhouse press workplace after the race: “Well achieved to Max, he had an incredible race and deserved to win, I’m actually completely satisfied for him. It just isn’t at all times good once you lead the race and find yourself second, actually I didn’t have the tempo of Max and it’s one thing we’re going to analyse to see how we will do higher.

“When I saw how strong Max was coming through the field and I was struggling a bit, I thought ‘this isn’t looking too good’. It would have been a gamble on strategy to start on the hard tyre from pole position.”
“Of course, I wanted to win but I knew early on the race was looking tricky for us. This is one to learn from because clearly Max had the fastest pace. I think the performance Max showed today was not reachable for me, so I have to understand why.”
“I think some was tyre related but equally, overall, he was the stronger driver today. There was maybe a bit more we could have done; it is a bit of a shame really but in general, on a tough weekend P2 is not a bad result. We will review the weekend. I want to get back strong for Imola and get back to our normal level,” he mentioned.
