Verstappen: Third Place Was the Maximum Today

“I think I have to be happy with this result,” Max explained after the race. “I tried everything I could in this race. My first stint wasn't bad. But the second one turned out to be a bit tougher than expected.”

“Also, I think Kimi and I were unlucky with the Virtual Safety Car.”

“I think it's very good for us to have reached the podium. I gave it my all, and I believe third place is a good result.”
