The Red Bull driver overcame a grid penalty at Spa-Francorchamps as he stormed to an eighth consecutive victory to extend his championship lead over teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez to 125 points he🐠ading into the summer break. 

Verstappen was in imperious form as he might light work of his comeback charge, tℱhough he did have a fright when he had a big wobble through the high-speed Eau Rouge corner as light rain fell mid-way through the race. 

The Dutchman managed to collect his car through the flat-out swerves and was untroubl𒉰ed from there as he claimed his 10th victory from 12 races so far this season. 

Speaking after Sunday’s race, the two-time world champion explained: “Th🃏e rain was just moving around on the track. Sometimes it was increasing inꦉ other places from lap to lap.

“I just got up there and it probably just rained a bit harder when I was on the other side of the track in Eau Rouge, and I got there♛ and it just caught me out. It was a bit more slippery than I thought it would be.

“It happened quickly. Trying to corꩲrect it, sometimes of course it works, sometimes it doe🌠sn’t. And at that speed as well, you have quite a bit of downforce on the car that helps.

“But it was not great. We did have to save a bit but it’s a♓lways a combination of things throughout the race when you’re saving.

“That’s probably not the best place to go side🥂ways but luckilyꦰ nothing happened. Of course also with the changes through there, you have a little bit more run-off. But it’s still not a nice corner to have a moment.”

Asked what he was thinking as he went sideways, Verstappen replied:𝓀🌊 “A swear word”.

Indeed, a relieved Verstappen repoওrted over team radio at the time: **** I nearly lost it".
