Red Bull boss Christian Horner has explained where Max Verstappen has been unhappy on track during Monaco Grand Prix practice day.
Horner revealed there is one particular corner where Verstappen has been unhappy with the behaviour of his Red Bull RB18 throughout the weekend so far.

“It’s that braking there, and we saw him having to brake…
