Helmut Marko thinks it was "typical" of Max Verstappen to go all out for the fastest lap of the race despite being told by his Red Bull team to manage his pace.
From the moment the Dutchman took second place, pretty much halfway through the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix having started 15th, it was clear that only a mechanical fault or a crash was going to deny Red Bull another one-two finish.
He would have preferred to win himself but Sergio Perez showed impressive pace to keep his team-mate at arm's length and take victory. But it was not enough to wrestle top spot in the championship away from Verstappen.
