Corriere dello Sport: “Verstappen’s Red Bull is like a cannon. The Ferrari drivers must bow to Verstappen and Hamilton, two giants of Formula 1.”
The Republic: “Verstappen is like a mountain climber. He also climbed to the top of Formula 1 in Mexico. He imposed his pace on his rivals with his usual arrogance. His car is like a spaceship that leaves all opponents on the track behind.”
