Disappointed that we didn’t have enough pace to win the race today but we’ll work harder than ever to get back on top in race pace.

As F1 will return to European rounds, the title battle between Verstappen and Leclerc will be predicted to be tighter and more intense than last year's Verstappen vs. Hamilton showdown.
