Max Verstappen’s hopes for the F1 title have taken a hit after a tough battle at the Monaco Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver expressed his concerns after finishing in fourth place, describing it as another “big struggle” for his team at the Circuit de Monaco.
Throughout the years, Monaco has proven to be a challenging track for Red Bull, and this year was no exception. Verstappen faced difficulties with the RB21’s handling on kerbs and cambered corners, making overtaking nearly impossible in the tight streets of Monte Carlo.
As a result of his fourth-place finish, Verstappen now finds himself 25 points behind Oscar Piastri in the championship standings. Despite the setback, the Dutchman remains focused on taking the season race by race.
Verstappen reflected on Red Bull’s performance in Monaco, acknowledging the team’s limitations while still managing to secure a respectable result. He emphasized the importance of accepting their weaknesses and working towards improvement in the upcoming races.
Looking ahead, Verstappen remains cautious about his title chances but is determined to stay competitive and make the most of each race weekend. With the championship battle heating up, the pressure is on for Red Bull to address their struggles and bounce back stronger in the upcoming races.
