Max Verstappen (1st): “It’s my first win in Australia which feels really good, it’s also been a while for the Team so it means a lot to us all. We were in fifth place for most of it, chasing Carlos [Sainz] for fourth place and we showed really good race pace. Obviously a crazy, crazy race but we stayed in there when it mattered. There are positives to take – we had a really good start, which is something we worked really hard on, and we didn’t do any mistakes in a race where there were plenty of spills. It was not an easy race to navigate with the early red flag putting extra emphasis on managing the Hard tyres. We have very good momentum and that’s what we want to take into the next races.”.
