According to the official website of Formula 1, Max Verstappen expressed his delight on the remarkable achievement of Red Bull, saying, "Yeah, I mean, I've won 41 of them. But, yeah, we'll talk about maybe a new contract because of that. No, honestly, it's a great achievement for the team."

He added, "We knew that this was the first opportunity, of course, to do so. And I'm happy that's done. We've won 100. But again, I hope we win more than 100. So, the new target is 200."

Dutch driver, Max Verstappen said, "It's amazing. I mean, I never expected to be on these kinds of numbers myself as well, you know. So, yeah, we keep enjoying, we keep working hard. But today has been a great day again."

In the Canadian Grand Prix last Sunday, Fernando Alonso gave a tough time to Max Verstappen but eventually, the Dutch driver prevailed and won the race.

Reflecting on the race, Max Verstappen said, "Fernando's already been asking me this. It's tough, because normally it's all about tyre management, right? But today was definitely more about pushing. But sometimes it was just going up and down a lot in lap-time. Actually, sometimes you couldn't actually push to the limit because you didn't know what you were going to get."

He added, "So, for me, on the hard tyre, it was quite a bit of a struggle, and then on the medium, I wanted to open up that gap a little bit more. So then, of course, at one point, you're seeing, like 10-15 laps to go and you have a good gap, you don't want to take too many risks. It's probably not flat-out pushing, but you cannot relax too much because then you lose the temperature in your tyres. So, yeah, somewhere in the middle of that." (ANI)
