After clinching the Monaco title, both Verstappen and Red Bull will be leading the Drivers and Constructors’ Championship, respectively.

“If you don’t make it to the podium at a certain race for so long and then you win, it’s a special feeling. Of course, it was nice to take the lead in the drivers’ championship, but I’ve always said – I don’t want to be ahead in the fifth race of the season but at the end of the season.

“We can be proud of the first part of the World Cup, but we can’t let up a bit now. In order to hold our own in the battle for the title, we have to get even better in all respects. We can’t afford to make mistakes either.” said the 12 times Grand Prix winner.
