A little less than a week after the victory in Spain and the conquest of the provisional world championship leadership, Max Verstappen shows up in Principality of Monaco with the clear intention of reconfirming himself in the home of the ‘enemy’ Charles Leclerc, in turn eager to redeem himself after the disappointment due to the technical knockout in Barcelona. A goal therefore not easy to achieve, also due to the iron will of the Ferrari driver to finally be able to arrive under the checkered flag of the Monaco GP, perhaps in front of everyone.
Also for these reasons, the Dutchman of Red Bull is preparing to compete in the seventh weekend of the world championship with the ‘calm’ and awareness of the champion, not letting himself be betrayed by the numerous expectations that focus on the one who occupies the top of the drivers’ standings: “For the pressure in the league location doesn’t matter so muchif you are first or second, but more the car – stated the number 1 in the pre-GP press conference -. If you have a good car, it makes sense that you know you can win races later on. From experience, this is the most important factor, because of course it gives you confidence “.

Speaking of the car and the predictions on Monaco, Verstappen added a consideration on the particular current moment of the season, both for him and for the Anglo-Austrian team: “I don’t think inertia is with us at the momentor – he specified – we also had a bit of luck in the comeback in the championship. Monaco is difficult to judge performance, but it is still essential to maximize the points “. In conclusion, the Dutchman also judged the city circuit that will host the Circus this weekend, whose future seems increasingly in question: “If Monaco were to enter F1 today with this layout, I don’t think it would be on the calendar. However, it has a great historical value, and I think it deserves to stay ”.
