- GPblog.com
Saturday was not the best in Mexico for Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen, but they take home the bulk of the points a day later. The start was perfect, the pit stop was perfect and with the job was done at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriquez. The World Championship leader extended his lead by seven points to Lewis Hamilton, who finished second. Verstappen couldn't be happier.
"To come here having Checo as a team-mate coming in Mexico is amazing but even before and that the fans have been incredible," Verstappen commented after his win.
Verstappen's start excellent
The most important moment of Sunday was the start. "It was nice three wide and then you just try and brake as late as you can. Kept it on track and went from third to first and I could just focus on my race," he added.
Verstappen is now 19 points ahead in the world championship, but he doesn't want to relax yet. There are still four very important Grands Prix to go. "Still a long way to go but it's looking good. It can still turn around quickly."
