What did Max Verstappen say after the race?
“In the beginning it was super difficult out there with the wind. One lap you had OK balance and the next lap you were just sliding everywhere,” said Max Verstappen in the post-race Drivers’ Press Conference.
“Really difficult to keep the car stable. Once we made the first pit stop then you could clearly see that on the hard tyres they were pushing me hard from behind but then when we made the call to do a two-stop, luckily at the end that paid off. We had to work hard for it but of course very rewarding.”
