driver Max Verstappen has emphasized that the current situation for the team is alarming considering the struggles it faces with the RB20's setup, and howhas been catching up in the race for the championship. However, the Dutchman suggested the need to overcome the challenges without panicking.
The Dutchman began the race in second, but a flying start meant he was leading the race at the end of Turn 1. In typical Verstappen style, he managed to pull away from pole-sitter Norris for 18 laps before the McLaren man caught up and passed him to the end by maintaining a staggering 23-second lead at the finish line.
The Papaya team now trails Red Bull by only 30 points in the Constructors' Championship. Although Verstappen maintains a more comfortable 70-point lead over Norris in the Drivers' Standings, the situation remains a growing concern. Verstappen, who hasn't won a Grand Prix in the last five rounds has asked for urgent attention to be given to the car. He told the“The last few races already, they haven’t really been fantastic. So that, I think in a sense, was already a bit alarming.
Norris, whose MCL38 F1 car packed all the required punch, revealed that it would be "stupid" to dream of winning a championship with a 70-point difference to Verstappen. He added:“There’s no sudden decision of ‘now I need to do better’. I’ve been working hard the whole year and I’m still 70 points behind Max so it’s pretty stupid to think of anything at the minute.
