After a rare error in qualifying left Verstappen ninth on the grid, the two-time worl🌳d champion made light work of carving his way through the field.

Verstappen hunted down Red Bull teammate168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Sergio Perez, who started from pole position, and passed the Mexican with nine laps to go to take his third win ꧙of the season. 

The result saw Verstappen e𒅌xtend his championship lead to 14 points over Perez. 

Asked if he feels unbeatable, the Dutchman told Sky: “I alღways feel unbeatable. 

“But sometimes𓃲 other people also have a really good day and they can b🔯e close to you, or match you and be ahead. 

“But I think what is important is to try to be close to 100 percent or perfect every single time. Y💯esterday wasn’t perfect, so overall this weekend wasn’🅰t perfect.

“It’s a long season and ♑I alwayཧs try to be as close as possible to perfect.”

Verstappen impressively made an off-set tyre strategy work as he ran a long first stint on har🌌d tyres and made♔ his pitstop 25 laps after Perez. 

Such was Verstappen’s relentless pace, he rejoined just over a second behind Perez after coming in for fresh medium ru🐼bber.&nb𒁃sp;

After sweeping past Perez at the first corner, Verstappen was able to pull a five-sec🍰ond gap to his teammate by the chequered flag to 🤪underline his superiority. 

“It was🍃 better than expected I guess,” he explained. 

“It was really just about trying to understand how 🥀the tyres would last in the middle of the stint, I was not sure, that’s probably why I was a bit slower than I could have 🔯been. 

“But that also made me a bit faster at the end, that’s where I could extend my gap again and that’s what made my race, because when we made the pit stop I was only 1-1.5 seconds behind and with the fresher compound, of course you 🐲can pass.”
