“An incredible weekend. Very good,” Verstappen said over the on-board radio. “Let’s keep this momentum going.” In the interview afterwards, the Dutchman continued. “I didn’t know that straight forward would be. The speed difference between me and Norris was not very big during the race. We made the difference with the first stint and we were able to maintain that.”
