Gioia Verstappen: “Nice battle with Hamilton, I’m happy for Kimi’s victory”

First podium in 2026 for Dutchman Max Verstappen and Red Bull in Canada have achieved their first podium of 2026, although the four-time world champion is well aware that several opponents eliminated themselves or were ousted by bad luck during the Canadian GP. “I’m smiling because it’s a nice podium, I had a good battle with Hamilton and I’m happy for Antonelli’s victory,” the Dutchman told Sky. “We had a bit of luck with the mess they made in McLaren and with the problem that stopped Russell – added Verstappen – but we were ready to take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself and I’m happy for the team with this podium”.
