Having reflected on the race Verstappen urges that Red Bull need to find more to feel confident of beating Mercedes.
"Its very good but we need to find more pace. 6 points is nothing. So far i cant complain about the season, but the last few races they have picked up the pace", Verstappen told Sky Sports.
But despite his on track worries the dutchman is still satisfied with his performance. "Overall on a weekend were we're off pace compared to them to come away with second and third with Checo is a great result."
With Verstappen re taking the lead of the championship he will hoping to carry on his form into Austin and build on the mere six points that seperates him and Hamilton.
