It's a great day," Verstappen said in a conversation with Robert Doornbos at the track.
Mercedes countered well
Actually, the race Sunday afternoon went exactly as Red Bull wanted. "It's definitely a very good day. The start was very important and it worked out very well for me. Mercedes made it difficult for us, but we countered them very well every time. We can be very happy with the team performance.
