Published on 27 May 2023 by Niels Hendrix

Christian Horner, Oracle Red Bull Racing team principal, says after the qualifying, in which Max Verstappen took his maiden pole in Monaco: “That was one of the most exciting laps Max has ever driven in quali, what a performance. On the last lap, when he arrived at the Swimming Pool he was 0.2 of a second behind Fernando and then in that last sector he hit the wall twice but his momentum carried him through, he was gaining time and then he did it, he took pole. An unreal drive. It will be a very exciting race.”
