This Sunday, Max Verstappen left Lewis Hamilton behind. Imperial, the Dutchman led the Grand Prix from start to finish. The Dutch driver even took advantage of his comfortable lead to make a pit stop for soft tires and secure the point for the fastest lap in the race. With 26 points scored, he is pulling away in the championship as Hamilton has only scored 12 small points. The beginning of the Red Bull driver’s season is incredible, except for Azerbaijan, he has always finished in the top two.
