In the third heat became more and more difficult. If your tires are not working well, it makes no sense to try hard to go through the corners. I’m there pretty pissed off about it. “
Franz Tost, team boss Verstappens squad Toro Rosso, apologized for it in the eyes of the Dutchman disappointing result. “He came up to me afterwards to say sorry. He had been much more in qualifying. The team had the tires maybe can get warmer by applying a higher tire pressure.”
” In the second session, it looked good, the whole weekend up to that fact. Here you can do little as a driver, I did my best to warm up the tires. I seek no excuses, this is what happened . The fifth or sixth time, my goal I am now ninth, even though it’s my first time in Monaco, therefore I can not be satisfied “
