PODIUM
Take us through those moves, because
I think any racing driver in the history
or Formula One would like those
moves on his CV, because they were
committed weren’t they? Down into
Turn 6 you were really going for it
there.
SV: Yeah, obviously my target was
to catch Lewis and I was stuck in the
train and I was getting a bit angry or
annoyed and I wanted to get by and
I had the feeling that I could go a lot
faster in these conditions, so when I
was behind Daniel I saw him blocking
down the inside because I had a good
run out of Turn 4. I said ‘OK, you have
to try it around the outside, brake
really late and hard’. Fortunately he
didn’t lock up. I had him in the mirror,
checking, otherwise I have to open
immediately before he would make
contact. Then on the exit I was a bit
compromised, a bit in the dirt, getting a
bit of wheel spin, but then I got a bit my
elbows out. Yeah, he really squeezed
me, but it was good fun and I had the
inside for the next corner.
Some cracking overtaking. Moving on
to Max. Wow, driver of the day as I
said, the fans have voted for you. You
had some pretty spectacular first few
laps coming through the pack, tell us
about it.
Max Verstappen: Yeah, it was very
challenging. I think on lap one I passed
nine cars. So, not to bad…
