Max Verstappen has admitted that he is aiming for a podium finish in the Monaco Grand Prix. Still, he acknowledges that it will likely require a bit of luck. The Dutchman finished fifth in today’s Monte Carlo qualifying session but will move up to fourth on the grid due to Lewis Hamilton’s penalty.

The penalty also means Verstappen, who qualified fifth, will now start alongside Oscar Piastri on the grid in fourth spot.

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