Max Verstappen finished fourth in the Monaco Grand Prix. Looking back at it, the Oracle Red Bull Racing driver says: “Monaco wasn’t the most exciting race for us: we did everything right but ultimately there wasn’t much more we could do in the race following the qualifying result.”

Coming weekend Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is hosting the Spanish Grand Prix. Looking forward, Max says: “Looking to Spain, the final race of the triple header, we will hopefully see a better performance and something closer to what we had in Imola. I think we should be more comfortable with the car and therefore more competitive.”

Max adds: “The track has a lot of history and has long corners and high-speed turns and is always a good circuit to drive. Spain is where I won my first Formula 1 race, so I have many special memories there and hopefully we can maximise our performance as best we can this week.”
