Verstappen’s Red Bull thrived on Zandvoort’s tarmac while the Silver Arrows just couldn’t keep up. On a day where strategy played a crucial role, Red Bull reigned supreme.

Hamilton praised Verstappen for the competition he presented. “Congrats to Max – they put an upgrade on at the last race and whoo–they’re quick!… I tell you he [Verstappen] was fast today. They were on another level today that I genuinely couldn’t answer really to most of those laps.”

Verstappen extremely impressed Hamilton with his drive. “Credit to him [Verstappen], credit to Red Bull, they were really faultless today.” The reigning champion even congratulated the Dutchman for his home win.

The race in Monza would be a critical decider for the two rivals; with a win, either Verstappen increases his lead, or Hamilton climbs on top again. As the oscillatory results keep changing, it’s going to be a long road to the final round in Abu Dhabi. Till then, it’s 53 rounds of Monza.
