"It was not easy today, the track was very greasy," said Verstappen after finishing second behind Bottas in Turkey.
"We just had to manage the tyres the whole race, so we couldn't really push. It just seemed like Valtteri had a bit more pace [and] could look after the tyres a bit better as well.
"I'm still happy to finish second because, in these conditions, it's also easy to get it wrong, and you drop back. Overall [I'm] very, very pleased."
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
