Damon Hill believes Max Verstappen made the difference at Imola in his battle for the victory.
It was arguably his most impressive performance of the year so far, particularly given McLaren’s outstanding pace at times this weekend.
Reflecting on Verstappen’s performance, Hill feels that Verstappen made the difference after Red Bull “hadn’t given him a dominant car.”“Those ones provide more satisfaction. He knows that he won that race, he got pole position. They hadn’t given him a dominant car.“Great to see Lando as well. Somehow the stars are aligning for this to be an interesting rivalry between these two, this season.
“It’s the happiest we’ve heard Max all year. They’ve been far too dominant for far too long and it’s great to see them under a little bit of pressure. Hats off to Max as well. At the end, he was under a lot of pressure. Lando was closing in on him.
