RED BULL
MAX VERSTAPPEN
Started 1st -- Result 1st
9 Did everything required to escape pressure from behind at the start and restart, and was generally unruffled, other than needless late Turn 8 kerb climbing. Didn’t enjoy his grip on the harder rubber due to the lower temperatures but eventually found a way to make things work.
SERGIO PEREZ
Started 12th -- Result 6th
Wasn’t helped by early safety car, since starting on hard tyres meant an early stop wasn’t an option, but his score is largely down to the big performance gap to Verstappen. Also let Sainz get ahead when the Ferrari’s first lap-one pass went awry. Couldn’t stay with the red cars on either tyre.
