Max Verstappen Braced For Difficult Weekend In Monaco
Max Verstappen is braced for a difficult Monaco Grand Prix weekend aware that his rivals are beginning to mount a sustained challenge to his bid for a fourth consecutive drivers' world title. The three-time champion and series leader said on Thursday that he felt both Ferrari and McLaren could threaten his hopes of a third victory in the Mediterranean principality in Sunday's race. "It's one of the more difficult tracks for us," said the 26-year-old Dutchman, who won last Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix by less than a second ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris.
