Max Verstappen has had to settle for second place for two races in a row, but will be hoping to really challenge for victory again in Monaco. The Dutchman will not be satisfied with just a podium.

Lewis Hamilton has won three races this season, and is therefore ahead of Verstappen in the standings. After a year's absence, the Monaco circuit returns to the F1 calendar, and that could be a good thing for Red Bull Racing.

Verstappen wants to win

''There are a few things we can improve on and we're working on them in the background, but I can't say anything about that. We're working hard on it, but this weekend is obviously very different from Barcelona, because it's a street circuit. We have to make sure our car is competitive here, especially in qualifying,'' Verstappen told the Weekend Warm-Up.

''We have to get the podium anyway, you can't miss it, but you just want to win. We need to catch up and it would be great if we can do that here. It'sdifficult to say now how close it is, but I can't wait to get started'', concludes the Red Bull driver.
