The checkered flag waves at the Monaco GP, and it is a more special race than the others for Charles Leclerc. The home idol, after years of misfortune, manages to achieve victory in the Principality. Behind him Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz close the podium. Then Norris and Russell, only sixth Max Verstappen which closes in front of Lewis Hamilton. Great points for tsunoda (P8), Albon (P9) e gasly (P10).
General chaos in the first lap in Monaco: Perez and the Haas out, it's a red flag
At the start, all the cars pass Sainte-Dévote unscathed. Sainz immediately tries to overtake Piastri in turn 1, but the front left hits bottom for McLaren. Drilling for the Spaniard who has to go straight into turn 4. In the rear, however, the Haas of Magnussen tries to squeeze into Red Bull's Perez uphill towards the casino. The American car catches the Austrian one, triggering a very bad accident. Also involved Nico Hulkenberg. Consequently, the race direction decides to expose the Red flag. Before the decision, Esteban Ocon look for an overrun before entering the tunnel on your partner Pierre Gasly. The two come into contact, with the first ending up on two wheels, but without any other consequences. At the restart, the positions will be those of the qualification, therefore Sainz returns to P3.
Second restart, everyone calmer
During the second start, given the accident that occurred previously, everyone decided to don't force. There were therefore no changes in the Top 10. The race, from that moment on, was a lot with elastic. Minimum gaps between each driver, but obviously it is impossible to overtake. Russell, who created a little train up to P4, breaks away from the top 10.
40 rounds of nothing, then they all light up. Lecler triumphsc
We know the Monaco GPs, something may not happen for many laps. Suddenly, however, it seems that everyone does turn it on. And that's exactly what happened, with pit stops by Hamilton and Verstappen. Both began to hammer out fast lap after fast lap. The Dutchman, despite the extra stop, stuck to the Mercedes of Russell, trying to overcome him. The top 4 also start to lap very strongly, with the gaps remaining very similar. Everything proceeds the same way, with Leclerc who extends on Piastri up to 8 seconds. And then everything becomes downhill for the home idol who triumphs in front of his fans.
