Max Verstappen turned his disappointing qualifying of Saturday into a victory on Sunday in Mexico. After the Grand Prix, the Dutchman speaks on the team radio.
Verstappen loses a point at the line after all
Verstappen widens his lead on title rival Lewis Hamilton to 19 points in the standings.
Those 19 points were almost 20 points, but at the last moment, Valtteri Bottas took the fastest lap from Verstappen. Christian Horner had not yet realised that Bottas had taken the fastest lap and initially gave the wrong information to Verstappen.
