clinched victory but not without his challenges, as his struggle with tire performance in the closing laps turned the race into a nail-biter. Verstappen, losing traction through his agin tires by the second, had to fend off the gaining Lando Norris, eventually clinching victory, but one he had to work immensely for.
"The whole race I had to push flat out to try and make a gap initially," Verstappen recounted in the post-race interview, broadcast by Sky Sports F1. Pit strategies saw the likes of Norris and Charles Leclerc jockey for positions behind him, each battling their own set of challenges, with the Briton reporting a disappointing lack of pace to his team.
Verstappen detailed his precarious stint on the fading hard tires, "I had no grip anymore. I was sliding a lot. I saw Lando closing in. The last 10 laps were flat out. It's difficult when the tires were not working anymore and you have to go flat out. I couldn't afford to make too many mistakes. Luckily we didn't."
