Verstappen was pleased with his performance in Spain, but he will be hungry for a win when he competes at the Monaco Grand Prix.
“It shows that there was not much I could do out there. It is a good result, but you always want more," Verstappen said.
"We tried everything. I got ahead at the start, and it looks good when you lead for so long. But we are lacking a little bit of pace in the race, as it has been all year.
"It shows that we are not where we want to be. But compared to last year, it has been a big step. We just need a faster car. It is very simple.”
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they were followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
