Felipe Massa believes Max Verstappen's spectacular exit from the Monaco Grand Prix is a sign that 'experience counts in Formula 🎉1', branding the Dutchman's collision with Romain Grosjean as dangerous.

Verstappen enjoyed an eventful first weekend in Monaco, grabbing headlines with his practice pace an🦩d proceeding to impress during the race too, despite a slow pit-stop dropping him outside the top ten.

Fitting super-soft tyres in the final quarter of the race, Verstappen set about making headway towards the points, but his attack on Grosjean for tenth place wo🔜uld see him misjudge his braking, hit the back of the Lotus and spear into the barriers at Ste Devote.

A spectacular exit, though Verstappen - who laid blame at Grosjean for braking early - was unhurt, stewards took a dim view of the accident and slapped him with a five-place grid penalty for the next 💛race in Canada.

It was a collision t♉hat also drew the ire of Massa, who - having spoken of his concern at Verstappen's inexperience before the season 🔜- said the accident

"I would say what for me was pretty dangerous was the accident with Verstappen," the Williams driver said. "He's supposed 🥂to get a penalty f💖or what he did. So he just braked behind, much later and what happened was very dangerous.

"So it shows that maybe experience counts in Formula One, and I think to teach about this type of accident they need to control better because it was very dangerous. So he was lucky that he 𒉰was not hurt,🌄 because he could have been very hurt by what happened."

"To be honest he was not even in a position to overtake. He was not even ne𒊎ar to go alongside, he was behind. So to be honest it was too much what happened.🧸"

Indeed, though he is pleaseღd no-one was hurt, Massa says the matter is likely to be brought up as a ꧃reason for concern.

"Well with this type๊ of mistakes, yes [it will be brought up]. It was very dangerous for him. He's 17, so if he's hurt everybody would talk about it. 'Why did they give a licence to a guy who is 17 and he's doing that?'🐻 But he's not hurt, everybody's happy, so I think they need to look at things in a better way."
