Verstappen: "You want to do it in style and we did that today"

"It was a tough one," Verstappen said in an initial reaction afterwards. "It was all good but then the pitstop was looking longer then what we would have liked but then I had to fight my way to the end. We gave it everything out there."

At Red Bull, there were mixed feelings. It finally won the constructors' title again after a long time, but Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz lost his battle with illness this weekend. "It's a very difficult weekend for us so his one is for Dietrich after everything he has done for us. After the pitstop, it wasn't looking great but I gave it everything and we came back to win."

Verstappen continued, "We had a great chance to win the constructors' title, but you want to do it in style and we did that today. This means a lot to me and to the team." The Dutchman considers it extra special that he was able to run for Mateschirtz at the Circuit of the Americas.
