Max Verstappen celebrated his “unbelievable weekend” at the United States Grand Prix after leaving behind the McLaren duo.
According to Independent, the Red Bull driver stepped closer to the Formula One championship battle on Sunday, October 20, after a thrilling victory at the US GP.
After the recent win, the four-time world champion, for the first time in the ongoing season, felt and expressed that winning the world championship is possible.
The Dutch-Belgian driver said, “For sure, the chance is there. We just need to try and deliver these kinds of weekends to the end. We will try. It is exciting. Of course, we know we need to be perfect to the end of the season to have a chance, but we will try, and if we succeed, of course, amazing.”
“If we don't, we tried everything we could to the end, and we kept it exciting. That's the spirit for us. It's positive pressure. It's not putting anything on us. We're not stressed about it. We're just going flat out,” he added.
Moreover, Lando Norris claimed second place after a thrilling battle with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to cut teammate Oscar Piastri’s championship lead to 14 points.
On the other hand, Verstappen also reduced the gap to Piastri from 63 to 40 points after gaining 33 points, stepping closer to the title.
After being beaten by both Verstappen and Norris in the last four races, Piastri will face a tough road to bounce back next weekend in Mexico.
