Max Verstappen held off a late challenge from Lando Norris at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on Sunday to return to the top step of the podium.
Verstappen won by less than one second in a tense fight for the lead between Red Bull and McLaren, with both teams urging their drivers on. Charles Leclerc took his fourth podium of the year as Ferrari didn't quite have the pace to join the lead battle.
Ultimately, as a sportsperson, you are there to overcome challenges and succeed and you get fresh motivation from that. You have to dig deep to get a result, and then you get more satisfaction when you achieve it. Lando's last stint as he chased down Max was amazing. He was so close to going off in the Villeneuve Chicane twice. I really thought he was going to end up in the gravel, but he hung on to it, didn't back out and just kept going.
