After the race at Suzuka, Sky Sports pu🌊ndits Bernie Collins and Dam💃on Hill heaped praise on Verstappen.

Collins 🍨😼labelled Verstappen’s display as “totally flawless”.

“To have a faultless weekend… we’ve seen it time and time again,” Collins said. “He put the laps in where it matters, with very🍸 li🐈ttle knowledge of this race. 

“Wind conditions changed during the race, temperature chan𝓰g💦ed during the race.

“He ඣseems to be totally flawless. 💖To win by such a margin again? Fantastic.”

Hill, who won the 1996 world championship with Williams, thought Verstappen’sܫ 12.5s margin over Perez could have been significantly greater.

“I think Max could have g💃one a lot faster, is the bad news for everyone,” Hill explained.

“He very easily put༺ in the fastest lap, by some margin. The point was made by Ferrari and by Checo - once you get into traffic, you lose loads of time t🦩o the guy in clean air.

“The secret is always to be in clea🌺n air. The only way you can do that is to be leading.”

Verstappen’s third win at Suzuka in a row meant he matched Michael Schumacher’s record of consecutive wins at the famous Japanese Circuit between 2000 🔯and 2002.

Reflecting on the race, Verstappen told Sky: “Only the first stint, it took a few laps to get into a nice rhythm. It’s the same for everyone because we didn’t have a lot𒀰 of practice time.

“After that, we made little changes 𒊎for the second stint and the car reall൩y came alive.

“I could look after the tyres when I wanted to. And push when I wante❀d to. It was a really good feel🐭ing, again.”
