Verstappen on his record 10th straight F1 win: "I never would have believed this was possible. But we had to work for it today so that made it more fun. We had good pace, we were good on the tyres, but they [Ferrari] had great top speed. So I had to keep the pressure and force the mistake."

"Second was the maximum we could achieve today. We were lacking some top speed today. Much like Carlos and Charles, I had to use too much of my tyres to get by," Perez says on his runner-up result.

"It was tough, hard racing, it is always a pleasure to race Charles and it was the same today. He is a great racer, just like Checo and Max, so I hope we put on a good show," Sainz says on his in-race battles.

"It cannot get any tougher than it was today. Trying to keep the Red Bulls behind meant I paid the price with my rear tyres towards the end," Sainz tells Nico Rosberg in the post-race interviews.
