The Ferrari driver notched another top-five finish this Sunday in Monaco but he seemed to have an awkward exchange on the radio after the race.

The grip levels are not there, says Max Verstappen as he tries to get the soft C6 rubber in the working window.

Verstappen said he would be “surprised” if the Ferrari driver escaped without a penalty.

Despite the star-studded group of attendees, the Monaco Grand Prix often is far from an exciting race. The nature of modern F1 cars means passing is nearly impossible in the tight, twisting corners with barriers just inches away from cars at almost every point of the Circuit de Monaco.

Norris snatched pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix from local hero Charles Leclerc's Ferrari with the final lap of qualifying.

A new rule for this year mandated two pit stops, but Verstappen's decision to wait until the latest opportunity to make his stop allowed Leclerc to close the gap to Norris in the final stint.
