McLaren F1 rookie Piastri says he used Verstappen as a guide to learn how to drive around the Monte Carlo circuit in the rain.
Piastri reckoned he survived the 78 laps without so much as grazing the barriers, although admitted he came close when chatting over team radio.
"One time, I keyed up the radio to talk and almost put it in the wall mid-sentence. I won't do that next time! But a few close calls."
