Red Bull Racing did not have an amazing Monaco Grand Prix. Max Verstappen finished fourth, with his teammate Yuki Tsunoda finishing two laps down in 17th. Team principal Christian Horner explained that the issue is specific to Monaco and not the RB21.

Regarding the new addition of a mandatory two-stop rule, Horner said, "I'd say it was an improvement. It was strategically more interesting. There was more jeopardy to it. Certainly better than what we saw last year, where there was just a procession.”

Circuit-specific issue

“The fundamental problem is you cannot overtake here. And you can drive around three, four seconds off the pace. That's circuit-specific. We've known that. It's been on the calendar for 72 years.”

When asked if he still thought thst changing the circuit layout was the way to go, Horner said, “it's the only way to really encourage any form of overtaking.”

“I don't think I saw a single overtake in the race. So trying to create a bit more braking area, either on the exit of the tunnel or turn one. If there was any way of creating a longer braking zone somewhere, we should really investigate it. The cars are so big now that you just don't have a chance to get alongside.”
