The Mexican victory was assisted by a safety car on Lap 10 that allowed Sergio to go over Max at his pit stop, and after that, he defended the 1st place.
Both Red Bulls pilots won 2 Formula 1 starts this season, as the Mexican won the sprint yesterday.
Verstappen is still in 1st place in the standings but with only 6 more points than Perez.
