Max Verstappen gave a blunt verdict on Red Bull’s hopes for the weekend after struggling for pace in practice.
Max Verstappen gave a blunt assessment of Red Bull’s prospects for the Monaco Grand Prix weekend after both he and team-mate Sergio Perez struggled for pace in Friday’s practice sessions. The Red Bull pair could only manage the 11th and 12th-fastest times in Practice One respectively, and although Verstappen was able to improve to fourth-fastest in Practice Two, he was still over half a second off the quickest lap of 1:11.278 set by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
'It's difficult, but I knew coming into the weekend it was going to be difficult and in that sense, I'm not surprised to see Ferrari are so quick. 'They are miles ahead so I'm not even thinking about that for tomorrow. I just want to try to solve the issues we have and make it a little bit more driveable, and then we'll see where we end up.
