Marko reveals Tsunoda crash could have 'major implications' for Red Bull Racing

"I don't think tyre wear will be a big problem tomorrow (Sunday). We have to see if we can gain something at the start or with the strategy, because overtaking will be very difficult," the Red Bull Racing advisor said after qualifying.

Verstappen himself was also satisfied with second place after qualifying. "Let's see. The previous race wasn't really a fight. Hopefully we can find some pace, have a better balance in the car and can manage the tyres better," Max himself said.

While Verstappen shone, Yuki Tsunoda's qualifying ended early due to a crash in Q1. "Thank God nothing happened to him personally. It is of course a huge setback for us, because we now have three races in one race. Monte Carlo is definitely a place where you can't afford to make a mistake. The spare parts situation has become critical.''
