Marko shared, “This race was very stressful, at least for me, especially after the late restart with Fernando Alonso behind us… You could see that Alonso gave everything. At one point he was only six-tenths behind Max, so that was the most worrying situation for me on Sunday. Then my heart rate went up.”
Ultimately, Verstappen’s skill in managing tire temperatures and conditions allowed him to regain control and secure the victory once he got the intermediate tires up to the right temperature. The Dutch driver’s performance showcased his ability to handle challenging situations under pressure.
