Marko sees few boos from Dutch fans: "Compliments"

"But for him, of course, the victory was the most important thing today," laughed Marko. Red Bull's advisor marvelled at how the Netherlands have handled hosting a Grand Prix. "Compliments for what the [Dutch] have achieved here." Not only was everything well organised and the fans very enthusiastic, but the crowd was also sporting towards Lewis Hamilton. There were hardly any boos, which Marko finds commendable.

The Dutch GP was the middle one in a triple-header. Verstappen, therefore, does not have that long to enjoy his victory, as the free practice in Italy is already on the programme in five days' time. "Now we will see how we will master Monza. It's a track that has never suited us in the past. But with the form, we have now..."

The Monza circuit is known for its long straights. According to Verstappen Mercedes still has an advantage in that area, but that doesn't mean the RB16B is out of the running for victory next week.
