(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 28 – “Winning as we did today in Monaco is wonderful, especially with this weather situation, keeping calm and bringing home the result”. Max Verstappen places another seal on his almost perfect championship with the victory in Monaco in the rain: “Do I still stretch in the championship? Yes, exactly…”.
“It was quite a difficult race – the Red Bull world champion then recounts – Fernando had the hard tires, we the medium ones. We didn’t want to go that long, but it was necessary to cover Alonso, because we feared the rain would arrive and we didn’t quite know what would happen. There was graining on the tyres, it took some time to recover the grip on the tires and we regained some pace. But driving was still difficult. Then – concludes Verstappen – it started to rain , lap after lap more and more, so we had to put on the intermediates. But the asphalt was incredibly slippery. When you’re there you want to push, without exaggerating, but you don’t want to waste too much time. In that situation it’s very difficult. I touched a couple sometimes the walls, but Monaco is like this”. (HANDLE).
