Asked if he would have done anything different, Verstappen joked that next time he might maybe get a drink while he waited in the pitstop.Verstappen said the 20 seconds was a lot but he was not going to cry about it. "To get back to sixth is alright but then I couldn't even fight the Mercedes cars in front, I just had no grip. Just sliding a lot, couldn't brake," he said.
Horner told reporters separately that the penalties were"very harsh" and an obvious reaction to what had happened in Austin, and the backlash then.
