Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc held his nerve to convert pole position at his home Monaco Grand Prix into a controlled victory after a huge first-lap pile-up.
Verstappen had stopped for fresh tyres with 26 laps to go and quickly caught Russell, but despite the huge grip advantage was unable to pass. The top four had started on medium tyres, while Russell, Verstappen and Hamilton behind them were on the hards. The teams spent the race looking at gaps to rivals and wondering about pit-stop windows but the remainder of the grand prix passed without major incident and going to the end was what they were forced to do.
He added after getting out of the car: “No words can explain that. It’s such a difficult race. The fact that twice I have been starting on pole and we couldn’t quite make it makes it even better in a way.
