McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said that the result was mega as the Woking-based outfit scored their first Formula One victory since the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix and their first 1-2 finish since the 2010 Canadian Grand Grand Prix as Daniel Ricciardo took victory just ahead of his teammate Lando Norris.
Ricciardo started the race from second and took the lead off the line from polesitter Max Verstappen while Lando Norris started the race from third place.
The pairing dominated the race and had a great reception as they took the chequered flag just ahead of Mercedes Valtteri Bottas. Brown tweeted:
THAT WAS MEGA!!! 🏆🏆 P1 and P2, what an awesome day for the team, I’m so proud of everyone’s hard work to earn this result. 🍾 Daniel, Lando – you crushed it. ⁰
