The team made a perfect strategy call to pit Mick under a late safety car for fresh softer tyres .This made him move up from P10 to P8 after the restart .
He had a fantastic battle with Max Verstappen for P7 till the chequered flag , but could manage only P8 .Mick revealed that the victory felt great and hopes to score more points in the coming races .
In an interview , Mick said , “We’re really happy. Coming back from P19, I said we have the speed to go forwards and we definitely showed it today. It’s great for the team, a double-finish in the points, so that’s obviously very helpful in the constructors. For me, I’m happy now to focus on what’s really important and that’s the racing and the driving.”
