The bumpiness of the Monte Carlo circuit exposed some of Red Bull's key weaknesses - as did the kerb-riding ability of this year's RB20 chassis - as Verstappen qualified and finished in sixth, while Sergio Perez was knocked out of Q1 prior to his first-lap crash with Kevin Magnussen.
This led to suggestions that Red Bull might also suffer with those characteristics around the Montreal circuit, which also features a series of chicane-adjacent corners that require drivers to attack the kerbs.
