Verstappen reveals Monaco is "not his best circuit"

Max Verstappen has revealed that the Circuit de Monaco has not been his "best circuit so far", following last season's disaster, but is hoping to finally turn his form at the track around.
A crash in FP3 in 2018 meant that the Dutchman had to start from the back of the grid. Verstappen managed to push himself into the top 10 and eventually finish P9 - but the whole race ended in disappointment more than accomplishment for the 21-year-old.
A P5 finish for Verstappen is his best result in Monaco and the Dutchman is praying he can change that this season for Red Bull: "It was good to be back on the podium in Barcelona, but now our gaze is again looking forward to Monaco. It's a very special and hectic weekend, and for sure, it's a lot of fun.
"It has a lot of history but it's not been the best one for me over the last few years," Verstappen said on Red Bull Racing's preview ahead of the Monaco GP. "Hopefully it's time to turn this around.
"I live in Monaco so it's nice to sleep in my own apartment instead of a hotel, and a few of my friends and family will be there so I'm looking forward to seeing them and having a good weekend."
