Norris' win reduced Verstappen's title lead from 78 points to 70 with nine races to spare. McLaren is now clearly the team to beat and has a car to take points away from Verstappen.
Norris stated, 'I've been fighting for the championship since the first race of the year… it's pretty stupid to think of anything at the minute. I just take one race at a time.'
Red Bull CEO Christian Horner commented on the race, saying, 'The pressure is on us to respond. We're used to being in championship fights… and we're going to fight with everything we've got over the remaining races.'
Horner noted, 'We're lucky that they underperformed at the start of the year, so we've got a 70-point buffer, but that can diminish quickly.'
