Verstappen finished second at the Algarve circuit with Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas completing the podium, and taking a bonus point for the fastest lap, after starting from pole position. Verstappen’s Mexican teammate Sergio Perez was fourth. The victory was a record-extending 97th of Hamilton’s career, second of the year and repeated his win at the same circuit last season.More Related News
