5 . MAX VERSTAPPEN

It is very disappointing after such a clean weekend where everything has gone really well to then feel I lost out on a podium , but I guess that is racing . I tried everything I could to get close to Bottas , you can say we stopped too early or should have gone longer but that is always easy to think after the race . Even after the safety car , I was on fresh , softer rubber but with the wide cars and dirty air you can ’ t make a move and I had no real chance of overtaking here . I think I did 77 laps in traffic today , that isn ’ t much fun and I couldn ’ t push but at least we finished the race which is the biggest positive from the day .
