The victory&mdash;Red Bull&rsquo;s fifth from five races this season&mdash;extends Verstappen&rsquo;s lead at the top of the standings and follows his triumph in the inaugural Miami race last year.&nbsp;

Verstappen&rsquo;s 38th win for Red Bull equals the team record set by Sebastian Vettel and is the first time a driver has won from ninth on the grid since Niki Lauda at the French Grand Prix in 1984. &ldquo;I took the cars off one by one and then I could stay out really long on the hard tyres and that&rsquo;s where we I think made the difference,&rdquo; said Verstappen.&nbsp;
&ldquo;For sure winning a race from P9 is always very satisfying,&rdquo; he said. It was a disappointing day for Perez, who after his victory in Baku last week, had a great chance to win from pole, but was left frustrated with the tyre choice. &ldquo;I think the medium initially was really poor. It wasn&rsquo;t expected and that really compromised our pace,&rdquo; said Perez.&nbsp;
