Verstappen: A lot can happen in the fight for the title.

      The victory at Imola allowed Max Verstappen to reduce the gap from Oscar Piastri in the individual standings to 22 points. At the FIA press conference in Monaco, the Red Bull Racing driver was asked if he believed he could seriously compete for the title this season.

      Max Verstappen: "It's not about whether I believe or not. It's about where you finish in the last race. We're just working every race to improve and improve the situation.

      Many more things can happen. If you had asked me at this stage of the season last year if I would win the title, I would have replied, "Yes, of course we will. No problem at all." But then a lot changed.

      I'm not sure that this season will follow a predictable pattern until the very end. There are still areas where we need to improve, but that's okay. Let's try to make the car better."

      This year's Monaco race requires two pit stops. When Verstappen was asked how this would affect the course of the fight, he replied: "I think the situation can develop in two directions. On the one hand, everything can be extremely straightforward, but on the other, it can turn into madness, depending on whether the safety car goes on the highway or not, and whether the right decisions are made.

      You usually go through a race in Monaco with one pit stop, and if it goes without problems, then you just drive to the finish line. The main thing is to stay focused and not hit the barrier. But maybe two pit stops will lead to everyone wondering when to stop in the pits."
