Max about the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix

After the first Formula 1 race on European soil in Barcelona, Max Verstappen gives his thoughts on the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix:

"A street circuit is always special. I've never driven at this track before but I have driven at Macau, which I reckon is a very challenging street circuit. I enjoyed the experience there and so I'm looking forward to Monaco. It will need a different approach and you can't just attack it in the first free practice session, you need to build up to it gradually. The important thing is to do as many laps as possible.”

"I've driven it on the simulator and what strikes you is that it is quite slow. Even if engine power will be less important here, you do need the best possible driveability to come from the engine. I expect the lap times between the teams to be much closer than in some other races. In the end, set-up changes won't make the biggest difference. It's more a case of what you as a driver can get out of yourself. In Monaco, I think it will be more likely to get an extra 2 tenths out of yourself than from something you do to the car."
