Max Verstappen won Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix and could share the podium with former teammate Carlos Sainz and good friend Lando Norris. Former teammates Sainz and Norris are also good friends and so the press conference was a lot of fun.
Good prediction
Ferrari were very competitive in Monaco with both Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc topping the timesheets all weekend. That the team would be fast here didn't come as a surprise to everyone. Prior to the Monaco race, Norris already sent a message to Sainz that he might have a chance to win here.
During the press conference Sainz pointed this out again. "He put quite a lot of pressure on me prior to this weekend because he said I might have the chance to win". To which Norris responded with "and, was I right?" He certainly was, agrees Sainz.
Money for advice
Verstappen then hooks into the conversation. "You should ask for money for this," jokes the Dutchman. "People can then ask your advice, because apparently you can look into the future." Norris then immediately makes a prediction for the race in Baku. "It will be a great weekend." Verstappen then also takes a look in his crystal ball: "That will be pole position with a half second lead."
