Max Verstappen preferred to stay in his rhythm in the Monaco rain even though that was involving some barrier clonking. MaxVerstappen RedBull MonacoGP Formula1 f1
Max Verstappen explains why he refused to slow down even after Turn 16 hitMax Verstappen has revealed even his engineer Gianpiero Lambiase wanted to know why he wasn’t slowing down as he came close to his losing control of his RB19 a few times in the rain in Monaco.
Despite running on worn medium Pirelli tyres, Verstappen was leading the Monaco Grand Prix by a comfortable margin ahead of Fernando Alonso when light rain began to fall on lap 51. As that intensified, the Red Bull driver finally came in for his first pit stop of the day to swap onto a set of intermediates.
“I think just one time out of 16 I clipped the barrier. But I thought I had a bit more margin and then I just I touched those… okay, I didn’t have the margin.“It’s better to be in a rhythm and feel good than slowing down and then be a bit out of your zone, and then also your tyres get colder. There was a moment though when Alonso was able to close the gap on Verstappen, the Spaniard taking five seconds off his lead in the first five laps after they’d swapped to the inters.“It was just that I had a big lead and I didn’t want to risk trying to be the same pace or faster and then end up in the wall,” he explained.
