Max Verstappen’s recent win in Japan left F1 fans and critics in awe. He started the race from pole position and drove a clean race to get his first victory of the year. Moreover, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner lauded his driver’s flawless race and said (via ESPN):

“We know that McLarens are very, very fast, and it needed Max to be inch-perfect with two very fast McLarens right behind him, and for 53 laps, he made not a single mistake. I think that’s one of Max’s best weekends. We literally turned the car upside down, setup-wise, and he’s worked very hard with the engineering team”.

Max Verstappen noted issues with the balance of the RB21 after the qualifying session, despite winning pole. Hence, as Horner said, the team changed the setup to make the car more drivable and comfortable for Verstappen to convert his pole into a race win.
