Verstappen
The car was good from the start of the race. I ran my own race without thinking about others. This event was quite complicated, especially in terms of tire management. It's a result that's all the more satisfying because I've had a complicated season so far.
Hamilton
I congratulate Max on his victory and wish him a happy birthday. We didn't have a perfect pace this weekend and we still need to improve.
Ricciardo
We quickly understood that the Mercedes were in difficulty at the start of the race. I stayed behind Bottas for a few laps. Seb came back very strong and I had difficulty resisting him.
