Max Verstappen

Preparation for Monaco is a little different: you definitely build up a little bit slower throughout the weekend and pace yourself. It's important to find the limit carefully.

I'm normally not really an angry person. Maybe some other people have a different opinion.

In the end, I think in F1 it is very hard for a girl.

Of course my dad went to Formula One, so I think that my dad is the better driver of the two. But I think, for a girl, my mom was not too bad, of course.

To be honest, I never compare myself with the rookies.

I've always been good at realising what went wrong and stuff, and I was always being able to look at the positives from it.

In general, the spotlight has been on me.

I want to rely on my gut feeling. Isn't that what made great race drivers in the end?

I want to win because I am the fastest out there instead, not by luck; then it means a lot more to you.

For me, it doesn't matter if you are fighting a world champion or not.

I just enjoy it and drive as fast I can. But so many people think your psychology is such a massive thing. For me, it's not necessary.

I have to say it was a very good start, a very good first season. I enjoyed it a lot, scored good points and gained a lot of experience.
