Czech Perez (Red Bull) wins the Monaco Grand Prix of formula 1 with a great race strategy beating the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz (Second), his teammate Max Verstappen (Third) and Monegasque Charles Leclerc who finished fourth.
Sergio Pérez He came out behind the two Ferraris, that of Sainz and that of the Monegasque Charles Leclerc, who again suffered the curse that accompanies him at home, where, this time, at least, he was able to reach the finish line, not like in the previous.
The Mexican took advantage of his first stop in the pits to overtake the two Ferraris when they passed through the pit lane and victory did not escape him, although he had to defend himself against Sainz due to the wear of his tires, in a race with two red flags, one for rain and another for an accident involving Mick Schumacher (Haas) who fortunately escaped unharmed when his car split in two.
The Monaco Grand Prix started with a bang. The appearance of rain ten minutes before the start altered the plans. It was initially delayed by nine minutes, another seven minutes were added and the cars started behind the safety car until the red flag was shown after the first lap of the finish line.
