It is that, by orders of the team, Pérez let Verstappen pass twice and, although he considered that it was “very unfair”, he had to settle for occupying the second place on the podium that George Russell (Mercedes) completed.
“I am very proud to be on the podium for the first time at the Spanish Grand Prix. I think it was close, but in the end it is a team result and I am happy about it. We were on different tire strategies and I let Max pass, I thought that at some point I could pass it and work on my strategy, but it was a good result for the team,” said the Mexican.
Verstappen, who recovered from a mistake, said: “I had a lot of tailwind and I lost the rear of the car. Then I was on the DRS train and it didn’t always work, so that made everything very difficult for me.
He also remarked that they handled “the strategy very well to be able to advance and win the race”, while adding: “I tried to keep the focus, it was very difficult, but we were able to do a good job. Checo did a great job as a team” .
In this way, Verstappen became the new leader of the championship: the Dutchman is at the top with 110 points, ahead of Leclerc, who has 104, and Pérez, who has garnered 85 so far.
