Max Verstappen is refusing to think about this year’s F1 world championship, adopting the approach of taking it “race by race” followin🥀g tღhe Monaco Grand Prix.

Verstappen finished fourth in Sunday’s race in Monte Carlo, 20.5s behind race winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

The Dutchmꦑan led the race until the end of Lap 77 before making his second mandatory pit stop.

Red Bull’s low-speed cor⛄ner weakness meant that Verstappen could not challenge McLaren or Fꦓerrari in qualifying.

Red Bull then w🐻ent long with Verstappen, keeping him out until the end of the penultimate lap in case of a red flag o🍃r Safety Car.

Verstappen is now 25 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri ahead of this weekend’s Spanish Grand Pri🌟x.

The Barcelona circuit will likely suit Red Bull, gi⭕ven its lack of low-speed corners.

When asked about the title race, Verst꧂appen dismissed any talk about it after Monaco.

“Well, honestly, I don’t really think about the champꦏionship. I just want to go race by race,” Verstappen said as quoted by RN365.

“Of course, some tracks, you might be a bit more competitive, and some you will struꦜggle a bit more. And I think it was clear that, again, in Monaco, we struggled.

“But honestly, every yea🦂r we have struggled here with this new generation of cars. Only in ’23 we had a massive pace advantage, and then you still win the race. But all the other years for me, personally, have always been a big struggle.”

Verstappen: “We know our limitations”

While Verstappen isn’t usually happy to miss out on a podium, he felt Red 𝐆Bull extracted t༒he most from their package given their current “limitations”.

Red Bull have 𓆉excelled at tracks made up of high-speed corners, taking wins in Japan and Imola.

“I think considering our pace the whole weekend, we did a good🍬 job,” Verstappen added.

“But yeah, I think as a team, of course, we’re never happy with P4. But we also hav🌜e to accep🐎t [it] when we know our limitations with the car.”
