Red Bull boss hails Max Verstappen's Brazil podium: "He's beating the sim on a regular basis"

Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies said no simulation could have predicted Max Verstappen's charge from 21st to second in the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos.

The Dutchman started near the back of the grid after an engine penalty and warned after qualifying that it would be harder to overtake at the São Paulo circuit than in previous years. But he proved himself wrong with an impressive drive to the podium.
