Verstappen claimed his 15th victory of F1 2023 - his 50th career triumph - at the Circuit of the Americas, defeating 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton by just over two seconds.

The Dutchman had a tricky afternoon from sixth on the grid, and had 🃏to ove🅠rtake Lando Norris on track to claim the lead of the race.

Throughout the 56 laps, Verstappen was complaining over team 😼radio about his braking performance, leading to several amusingജ exchanges with race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase. 

Speaking to Sky after the race, Verstapp▨en detailed what was wrong with his brakes in Au👍stin.

“We chan🤡ged the brakes after yesterday and it was not good,” he said. “I had no good feeling under braking and I couldn't really g꧋et on top of it for the whole race, so this is something we need to understand.

“Of course, around h🐓ere when you are not very confident under braking, you just don't have the nice f𒐪eeling under braking when you come off it. It can cost you quite a bit of lap time and it was a bit more difficult than I expected it to be.

“I normally never really struggle with braking so far in my F1 career, but i🌳t was definitely a bit of a problem.”

Verstappen also felt Mercedes could have won the race with Hamilton if “they did a better strategy🀅”.

“For sure, they could have won todayও if they did a better strategy after the first stop. T🌞he whole weekend they were very quick,” he added.

“Today from our side, with the brake issues it was hampering my pace but in general they were very strong this weekend♏."
