Imola’s Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix highlighted Red Bull’s progress with its 2025 Formula 1 car, but Max Verstappen doubts this improvement will carry over to the upcoming Monaco race. Verstappen was impressive in Italy, showcasing better tyre management and control than before. However, he anticipates challenges on Monaco’s tight street circuit due to Red Bull’s historic weaknesses with bumps and kerbs. Despite gaining insight from Imola, Verstappen remains cautious about their performance in a track not suited for Red Bull’s strengths. He acknowledges the need for further setup adjustments to enhance the car’s drivability on such tracks. Overall, Verstappen remains wary of the competition and uncertain about Red Bull’s prospects in Monaco.
