Red Bull Pilot Max Verstappen was eliminated in the first round due to third-party fault, but could not have done anything. “The McLaren are out of reach,” said Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko.
The Norris, launched by the pole position, fought hard with Piatri at the beginning and at the end of the race, before the Brit fixed its third win of the season and the first Monaco Grand Prix in May. The third -placed Charles Leclerc was back in Ferrari for 20 seconds. “I think we quickly knew that we would not drive against the Ferraris with a faster car, and we just looked forward,” said Norris. “It was a lot of fun, it was a difficult race, but we managed it well.”

Marko: Legend “no longer catchy”
In the World Cup classification, Norris reduced the gap to its Australian teammate to 15 points – the World Cup seems to have finally become the case for two. Defending champion Verstappen has 61 points behind as a World Cup press, after he was banged by Mercedes-Rookie Kimi Antonelli. That is “almost no longer catchy. So if nothing extraordinary happens, then we have to assume that the World Cup is gone,” said Marko in a steady log.
