Redemption for Max Verstappen. After a painful retirement in 2021, the Dutch driver greatly increases his lead in the championship, following the retirement of his rival Charles Leclerc.

When asked about his race, he explained, “We had to be careful with the tires, I managed to take the lead over Checo. We were also lucky with the Ferrari retirements, but in the end, we had the pace to win. I am very happy with the car’s balance. The key was in managing the tires and the car’s grip, that’s what you need to handle here and we managed to do it as a team.”

The Formula 1 is heading to Montreal next weekend, but Max Verstappen doesn’t want to look too far ahead: “Every weekend is different, you always have to be precise, it’s about small things when it comes to race management, everything can change very quickly.”

Max Verstappen therefore has a 34-point lead over Charles Leclerc, and sees Perez take second place behind him by 21 points.
