F1 | Verstappen: “Lewis pushed me to the limit” [VIDEO]

Max Verstappen did everything he could to try to take home the victory but in the end he had to give in to the five-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, also due to tire degradation. A pit stop was necessary a few laps from the end to reach the finish line. The Dutchman maintains third position in the world rankings, -69 behind Hamilton.

“We weren't fast enough, I tried everything with the hard tires to keep me in the race but it wasn't enough. However, second place is good and overall it was a positive weekend for us. Congratulations to Lewis on the win, he pushed me to the limit and I like that. We lacked a bit of grip, we tried to do the race with one stop, they had the chance to do it with two stops and in the end their strategy worked."
