Mekies hails Verstappen & calls Baku Tsunoda’s ‘best race’

Max Verstappen secured Red Bull's second consecutive victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix with an "untouchable" performance, impressing team boss Laurent Mekies. Following a win in Italy, Verstappen delivered a controlled drive in Baku, overcoming difficult conditions to secure back-to-back pole positions and race wins. This strong showing, coupled with McLaren's challenging weekend, has brought Verstappen within 69 points of the championship lead. Mekies highlighted that recent car updates and engineering changes are yielding positive results, also evidenced by Yuki Tsunoda's solid P6 finish. The team now looks to Singapore, recognizing it will present a different challenge, as they continue to refine their RB21 challenger.
