Podium time

Charles Leclerc gets a massive ovation from the Tifosi as he comes out to step on the third step.

But as we have heard so many times in recent years it’s time for the Dutch and Austrian national anthems for Verstappen and Red Bull.

Jubilation for Verstappen

Leclerc: We are looking good for the rest of the season

It’s a podium, I’m very happy when we win and we didn’t quite make it. We tried very hard to put pressure on Lando but later on they were incredibly quick.

The race pace was strong. We were missing on the front straight. We are looking good for the rest of the season and it’s incredible to finish on the podium in front of the Tifosi.

Norris: One or two more laps I would have had him

One or two more laps I would have had him. I fought hard till the end of the last lap.

He was better in the first stint and we had a much better second half.

We are at the point now where we are in the position of Ferrari and Red Bull. It’s business as usual, it’s just we’re fighting for first or second now. It’s frustrating not to win but it’s what we should expect.

Verstappen: The whole race I had to go flat out

The whole race I had to go flat out. On the medium tyres were strong but on the hard tyres it was difficult to manage and I had no grip for the last 10 laps.

It is difficult when the tyres don’t work anymore and you have to go flat out. I’m very happy to win here today.

We changed a lot on the car (from practice). We didn’t have much information for the race which is why maybe we struggled on the hard tyres.

He shares a hug with his close friend Lando Norris, who pushed him right at the end.

The Ferrari fans in attendance will be happy to see Charles Leclerc complete the podium – and it is a result that puts him ahead of Sergio Perez in second in the championship.

Leclerc has shown great consistency this season, though his wait for a victory continues.
