For the first time ever in the series, the entire top 10 order remained unchanged from lights out through to the chequered flag, with Verstappen coming home in sixth. Verstappen and the Mercedes’ had been angling to run long starting on the Hard compound, but a first-lap red flag enabled drivers to change tires and run to the end. While Red Bull would conduct a pit stop to protect against an undercut from Lewis Hamilton and the Dutchman closed on George Russell, he was unable to overtake. Verstappen insists Monte Carlo should remain on the F1 calendar, but the reigning champion has admitted that revisions to improve overtaking should be considered. Regarding potential alterations to the unique circuit configuration, Verstappen added: “Yes, because you cannot pass at the moment.” “If they ask for my opinion, I will try to see what is possible, but it also depends what roads you are going to take.”
