Verstappen hopes podium can kick-start his season

BARCELONA, Spain -- Max Verstappen hopes his Spanish Grand Prix podium can trigger a run of strong form.

Verstappen has had a difficult start to 2018, a season which so far has been littered with mistakes, criticism and collisions with other drivers. He did not avoid the latter in Spain, as he hit the Williams of Lance Stroll in the closing stages, but managed to stay ahead of Sebastian Vettel to come home in third position.

The Dutchman is confident the result can be the start of a good run.

"It feels nice to be on the podium and nice to have a good clean race so yeah, hopefully we can work from here and score a lot of good results.
