Verstappen bitter about loss: "We just lacked pace"

Max Verstappen did everything he could, but the Spanish Grand Prix was not won by him. The Dutchman kept Hamilton behind him for a long time, but eventually, he had to give up.

''In a way I did see it coming. On the soft tyre he was already faster at the end, and on the mediums he stayed within a minute. When he stopped for the second time I knew it was over. I was actually a sitting duck," said Verstappen after the race about his great rival Lewis Hamilton.

''Today shows that we are not yet where we want to be. We are now a bit slower than them. Of course this is a Mercedes track, and we have made a big step compared to last year, but we want more'', concludes the Dutchman
