The race weekend in the principality of Monaco has commenced. Max Verstappen expressed his displeasure regarding the RB20’s underwhelming performance in FP1 and FP2. The Dutchman felt, the car was lacking in terms of drivability.

The three-time world champion claimed the car to be jumping around ‘like Kangaroo’ and with the track being characteristically bumpy, puts the Red Bull team at a disadvantage.  While, the Dutchman was seen struggling in the practice sessions at Imola, he managed to emerge victorious, owing to set up changes. Max Verstappen claimed, Monaco to be a different story which doesn’t allow the Austrian team to bring about similar modifications.

It’s how the car is made and designed, and these kind of things you cannot change overnight, so we are stuck with that. We’ll try to make it a little bit better but I don’t expect any miracles.
