Max Verstappen spoke more about Mercedes and Hamilton in Monaco on Thursday…
Max Verstappen: “I understand why Mercedes decided to test their new products in Monaco already. I also try to put new items on my car as soon as possible. Now it’s hard to say how much progress they will make, I think they are also in a hurry to try out their new concept as soon as possible. It’s always better than new items just sitting in the boxes.
Hamilton contract with Ferrari? I don’t bet, I’m not interested. It’s not my problem, it’s Lewis’s. I think he’s pretty happy with Mercedes, they’ve won a lot together. Perhaps these rumors will slightly increase the value of his contract with Mercedes.
It is a pity that we say goodbye to Honda. A few years ago they announced they were leaving, so Red Bull created their own engine division, and now they say, “No, we’re staying.” We’ve always had a good relationship with them, but it’s a bit disappointing to see them move to Aston Martin.
Due to the nature of the track, it will not be easy for us in Monaco. Here Leclerc will be the most serious opponent, no, the whole Ferrari team, because Carlos is also in top form now. But Aston Martin cars also look good in slow corners, so we’ll see.”
