After qualifications were truncated by his off-track excursion at the start of the session, Max Verstappen decided to start from the pit lane this afternoon.<\/p>\n
The rain falling on Monaco since this morning could be an advantage for the Red Bull driver. Indeed, starting from the pits will allow him to avoid a potentially chaotic first turn here, especially on a track made very slippery.<\/p>\n
Upon returning from the drivers’ parade, which unfolded without a drop of rain, weather conditions were naturally at the center of discussions. But when Max Verstappen was asked about his expectations for the race in these conditions, he didn’t seem to care much: \u00ab Yes, of course, everything will depend on the weather. Whether it rains or not, it doesn’t really matter in the end. \u00bb The Dutchman is therefore expecting a long race and is not necessarily relying on the weather to gain positions. An attacking race in prospect?<\/p>\n
