Red Bull Team Principal Laurent Mekies expressed satisfaction with Max Verstappen's second-place finish at the Singapore Grand Prix, despite missing victory.

Mekies credited relentless effort at Milton Keynes and Verstappen's crucial feedback for unlocking the car's potential through a series of effective updates.
