According to the official website of Formula 1, Max Verstappen said, “If you have a good car for a while, you can break these kinds of numbers, But yeah, it’s great.

It’s better than I could have ever imagined, for sure.”
He further added, “We always need to be perfect to really get everything out of [the race],” he said when asked where the next challenge was likely to come from. “We know that in the race we are very strong. But... we cannot afford the DNFs. And yeah, we need to just try and keep improving.”
He concluded by saying, “It’s super nice to win [in Monaco]. It is also super nice to win it, I think, in the way we did today, with the weather and everything, to stay calm and bring it home. And yeah, again, a lot of points for the team as well.”
