Monagasque driver claims victory in his home race for first time, with McLaren's Oscar Piastri second and Carlos Sainz of Ferrari third
Monagasque driver claims victory in his home race for first time, with McLaren's Oscar Piastri second and Carlos Sainz of Ferrari thirdHometown hero Charles Leclerc ended his Monaco curse by winning a processional race that Max Verstappen claimed was “so boring” he wish he had “brought my pillow”.
George Russell crossed the line in fifth for Mercedes with Verstappen sixth and Lewis Hamilton seventh. The top 10 finished in the same order they started. Esteban Ocon took a desperate lunge on Pierre Gasly through Portier and, in doing so, made contact with his team-mate. The impact launched Ocon into the air.
As the red flag was deployed before all the cars came through the first sector, Sainz was able to take his original grid slot for the restart. So, when the race fired up for a second time, Leclerc held off his rivals on the run down to Sainte Devote – and the procession started.
