Max Verstappen has been involved in a number of spins and collisions already this season, and the Dutchman knows how small the margins are in the streets of Monaco, as the F1-circus travels there this weekend.

The race weekend will start on Thursday instead of Friday, so not really in the weekend. Verstappen is very curious to see how his Red Bull will behave.

"In Barcelona we were very quick in the last sector with the slower corners," he told Verstappen.nl.

"There are a lot of those in Monaco, so I think that we stand a good chance with our car.

"If we can get the balance to work perfectly, we'll have a good chance that qualifying will go well too."

It's not just the start that's of vital importance in Monaco, it's also keeping your car in one piece, which can be really tough in Monaco due to the small margins of error.

"You have to build up slowly in Monaco - one tiny mistake and you're in the wall.

"That's why we have to drive as many laps as possible, so we can get the most out of our car."
