Mekies describes Verstappen's Monza win as 'perfection'

Red Bull Team Principal Laurent Mekies lauded Max Verstappen's "perfection" drive at the Italian Grand Prix, marking Mekies' first win in his new role. Despite initial concerns about McLaren's race pace in the hot conditions, Verstappen showcased an unexpected pace advantage, securing a dominant 19-second victory. Mekies credited significant improvements in their low-downforce configuration from last year and Verstappen's instrumental input in optimizing the car's setup. A brief scare occurred when Verstappen ceded the lead to Lando Norris after cutting a chicane, but he swiftly reclaimed it, demonstrating remarkable control and strategy to ensure Red Bull's commanding triumph.
