During the Monaco Grand Prix F1 drivers parade, Max Verstappen talked about how it was to be racing at home.
While the Monaco Grand Prix is not his home race, Verstappen, like many other drivers, now lives in Monaco with his partner, Kelly Piquet, her daughter, Penelope, and their newborn Lily.
When asked how he slept before his first Monaco Grand Prix as a father, he said, "Yes, I slept good. Luckily, she also sleeps quite well, you know, so that helps."

Verstappen gave it his all during qualifying

Verstappen will start the Monaco Grand Prix in fourth place. While he qualified fifth, Lewis Hamilton received a three-place grid penalty, which moved Verstappen up a place.

Verstappen said, "Honestly, it doesn't really change anything. We always try to do the best we can. P4, P5 was the best we could do in qualifying."

"Today, a different day, two pit stops, mandatory pit stops that are not easy to predict really. When to do them. So it can be quite interesting, I think, the race."
He continued, "I've had a lot of races around here where you're just stuck behind another car. It's not the best, but hopefully with these two pit stops that we have to do, it spices things up a little bit."
