Max drops the poker
33 points out of 34 available (only the fastest lap signed by Alonso was missing due to the strategy that saw him make a pit stop even after the restarts following the Safety Car) and fourth victory out of five races, four out of four in those where he reached the finish line: in China Max Verstappen he had never won and dominated the weekend by celebrating his success on the last lap with a skid at the exit of the hairpin dedicated to the public sitting in the stands.
The weekend in Shanghai, with the exception of Qualifying on Friday, was very satisfying for Verstappen, who won the Sprint, further improving his Red Bull for the following sessions, Qualifying and the GP. Asked what the moments of greatest tension on an unrivaled Sunday Verstappen listed two external agents and one of his mistakes.
“After the second restart I stalled a bit in Turn 6 and it's not ideal – he explained in the press conference – Then I picked up a tear-off visor which must have gotten stuck in the air-box because I felt something hit my helmet. I don't know where she ended up (for example, if an air intake on the brakes is blocked, a pit stop to avoid retirement is mandatory). Then, with two laps to go, I ran over some debris before Turn 14 and with cold and worn tires the risk of getting a puncture is very high.”. Helmut Marko also declared that a puncture was feared in Red Bull, the debris was left on the track by the loss of the left flap of the front wing by Guan Yu Zhou who did not calculate the time well to get out of the wake of Kevin Magnussen.
