Max Verstappen is refusing to think about this year’s F1 world championship, adopting 🔯th🉐e approach of taking it “race by race” following the Monaco Grand Prix.

Verstappen finished fourth in Sunday’s race in Monte Carlo, 20.5s behind race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

The Dutchman♒ led the race until the end of Lap 77 before making his second mandator🅰y pit stop.

Red Bull’﷽s lowℱ-speed corner weakness meant that Verstappen could not challenge McLaren or Ferrari in qualifying.

Red Bull then went long wi🃏th Verstappen, keeping him out until the end of the penultimate lap in case of a red flag or Safety Car.

Verstappen is now 25 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri ahead of this weekend’♉s Spanish Grand Prix.

The Barcelona circuit will likely suit Red Bull, given its la💫ck o🐭f low-speed corners.

When asked about the title race, Verstappen dis🐼missed any talk about it after Monaco.

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

“Of course, some tracks, you might be a bit more competit♍ive, and some you will struggle a b🅺it more. And I think it was clear that, again, in Monaco, we struggled.

“But honestly, every year 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 racﷺe. But all the other years for me, personally, have always been a big struggle.”

Verstappen: “We know our limitations”

While Verstap🥀pen isn’t usually happy 🔯to miss out on a podium, he felt Red Bull extracted the most from their package given their current “limitations”.

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

“I think considering our pace the whole weeken🎀d, 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 have ꧋to accept [it] when we know our limitation🍃s with the car.”
