Sergio Perez won a wet and wild Monaco Grand Prix.
The future of the race is in doubt as the cars have outgrown the narrow track. But thanks to rain that delayed the start of the race, we had strong racing throughout and even some overtakes.
Ferrari started 1-2, with Monaco native Charles Leclerc on pole, but a botched pit strategy cleared the way for Perez to win with championship leader Max Verstappen in third. Leclerc fell to fourth behind his teammate Carlos Sainz (P2) and the two Red Bull rivals.
