The Red Bull driver benefited from a late second pit stop, picking up a set of medium tires that took him all the way to the chequered flag in first place. In a late fight with Raikkonen, Verstappen remained calm almost as if he knew he was going to win the race, he countered every attack move from the Ferrari even though their gap was only 0.5s.
Lol we love @Max33Verstappen
