"Of course, [the start] helped me out a lot for the rest of the race to stay in the lead after Turn 1. We were also on a different strategy to the cars around us, but [it’s] an incredible result," Verstappen said via Formula1.com.
"The pace of the car was really nice. We had to look after our [tires] because [of the] very long stint on the mediums, but we made it work. It’s been an incredible year so far. We are definitely enjoying it, and we will try to go for more."
Verstappen clinched the world championship with four races left in the season, clinched the constructors championship for Red Bull with three races left and has two races remaining to really set himself apart from Schumacher and Vettel.
