Sergio Perez wins Moncao F1 Grand Prix

Sergio Perez won the wet-dry Monaco Grand Prix collecting only six points behind Leclerc after his Red Bull team beat rivals, Ferrari. The Mexican advanced from third to the lead during a part of the race in wet conditions after the start was delayed for an hour amid downpouring rain. Red Bull also secured via Max Verstappen from fourth to Third behind Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz but ahead of his title rival Charles Leclerc. Verstappen extended his championship lead to nine points.

After the race, Ferrari lodged protests against both Perez and Verstappen on the basis that they crossed the white line on the exit of the pit lane after their second pit stops.  But the protests were not upheld.

Leclerc, who was on the pole position on Saturday was left ruing strategy blunders by Ferrari, as he saw a comfortable lead turn into fourth place within the space of just four laps.

The race was red-flagged for a second time after 30 laps because of a heavy crash by Mark Schumacher’s Haas at the Swimming Pool section of the track.
