The Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday was criticized as one of the most boring Formula 1 races in recent memory, with the top 10 finishing in the same positions they started. However, Charles Leclerc’s first victory at his home race was a bright spot. The race had a dramatic start due to an incident between Haas drivers and Sergio Perez, leading to a red flag. This allowed all teams to change tires without penalty, impacting the race’s excitement.

Leclerc controlled the pace to prevent rivals from pitting, while Hamilton unsuccessfully tried to overtake Verstappen. Ultimately, Leclerc’s strategic driving secured his victory in a challenging race.
