Verstappen braced for difficult weekend in Monaco

Max Verstappen is braced for a difficult Monaco Grand Prix weekend aware that his rivals are beginning to mount a sustained challenge to his bid for a fourth consecutive drivers’ world title. "It's one of the more difficult tracks for us," said the 26-year-old Dutchman, who won last Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix by less than a second ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris.
