Verstappen denies Hamilton first win of season to secure constructor’s title for Red Bull

Max Verstappen dedicated his win and Red Bull Racing’s constructor’s championship triumph to energy drinks mogul Dietrich Mateschitz following his death on Saturday.

The Dutchman had to fight back after a slow pitstop put Lewis Hamilton out front and on course for his first win of the season, passing the Mercedes man late in the day to claim his 13th win of the season and with it the team’s title for the Tilbrook squad.

The news of Mateschitz’s death broke ahead of qualifying on Saturday, and the sport held an emotional tribute to the Austrian, who owned both Red Bull Racing and Alpha Tauri, before the race.
