For the second consecutive Grand Prix, the Dutch national anthem rang out on the podium in honor of another Max Verstappen victory. The Red Bull driver dominated Sunday in Baku, leading from start to finish.
“It was an incredible weekend,” Verstappen said in his post-race interviews. “The car worked really well on both compounds, we always had clean air ahead, and that allowed us to manage the tires very effectively.”
Only the wind caused him a bit of trouble: “The car was moving around quite a lot, but of course I’m very happy with this performance.”
After two straight wins, Verstappen now looks ahead to Singapore, where he never won, aware that it will be a tougher test: “The last two races have been fantastic for us. Now Singapore brings a completely different challenge, with high downforce, so we’ll see what we can do.”
Will this be the year the Dutch anthem echo fir the first time under the Singapore night sky?
