Horner said: “He had the pace, we had a great car today. I think it’s testimony to the hard work in Milton Keynes that’s going on behind the scenes. We’ve had a difficult patch but everybody’s worked hard to get back into a winning position. That’s what we’ve done today, and Max used the car to full advantage.”
If Verstappen continues to score well in the remaining three race weekends, it is highly unlikely that Norris could close the points gap to any significant degree, although it is still mathematically possible.

Speaking about his driver’s major points haul, Horner said: “Well look, it was a big hit today but we’ve still got to close it out. The constructors’ we still don’t give up on. We missed an opportunity to have both scoring there today but there’s still three more opportunities.”
McLaren may be close to losing out on the drivers’ championship, but they still lead the constructors’ with 593 points – Ferrari find themselves 36 points behind, with the Milton Keynes outfit a further 13 points back in P3.
