The 25-year-old Dutchman finished second behind teammate Sergio Perez in the other two races.Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso, who has six podiums finishes so far, joked about how to win a race.“Two Red Bulls out of the way would be a good way to achieve that,” Alonso said Thursday. Alonso, who won the last of his 32 races 10 years ago, dismissed any notion that he had closed the gap at the Canadian GP two weeks ago because Verstappen won by a comparatively close 9.6 seconds. “In Barcelona, just two weeks before Canada, we were one minute behind (Verstappen),” the 41-year-old Alon...
