MORE FROM VERSTAPPEN

Red Bull star Max Verstappen shared a few worries following Thursday’s practice at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Verstappen said: “We are too slow, and not just by a little bit; I think quite a bit.

“We really need to find some pace. Everyone has traffic, so you need to look at optimum lap times or optimum sectors and we are quite off.

“It also didn’t feel great to drive. Normally I’m quite comfortable in the car, quite easily get to a pace but it all takes too long, [it’s] just not how I like it.

“I’m just surprised at how competitive Ferrari is. But I think it just shows that we are pretty weak.

“They are doing very well and we are very weak, so the offset is very big. Luckily, of course, we have a free day tomorrow so we can look into things but a lot of things need to change, I think”
