For me it was always clear that Verstappen had that talent'

Max Verstappen won the Styrian Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon. The Dutchman started from pole position and never had a problem during the race, allowing Red Bull Racing to increase their lead over Mercedes in the world championship.

The Austrian racing team has a significantly better car than in recent years, which makes it more difficult for Mercedes to compete. This is also due to the qualities of Verstappen. However, Peter Windsor believes, "It's one thing to have the best car in the field, like Sergio Pérez did. It's something else to dominate and control the race like Max did, just super.

The victory puts Verstappen 18 points ahead in the world championship. In the constructors' championship, Red Bull has a 40-point lead over Mercedes.
