Max Verstappen reflects on Monaco GP

While his partner grabbed the headlines in Cannes, Verstappen could only manage to finish third in Monaco GP. But one could imagine he will take more than some consolation from that.

The Dutchman had won every race he finished until Monaco GP. While it’s true that he didn’t win the race; he outpaced Charles Leclerc and is still leading the driver’s standings.

Speaking after the race, he said, “I did the best I could after [qualifying] yesterday. As a team we did a really good job with the strategy to get ahead of the Ferraris.”

“As a whole team we can be pleased with the Sunday. It was a hectic one with rain. I extended my points lead which I didn’t expect last night, so that’s a positive.”
