Verstappen has no rival, the Dutchman triumphs in the Monaco Grand Prix

The Monaco circuit once again crowns Max Verstappen as the prince of Monte Carlo, with the Dutchman triumphing on his "home" circuit in a race without history. In fact, the seventh round of the F1 season goes to the Dutchman, with Alonso's Aston Martin and Ocon's Alpine trailing in the distance.

Both Ferraris were off the podium, with Leclerc and Sainz finishing sixth and eighth, with the Monegasque ahead of the Mercedes of Hamilton and Russell, while Gasly was sandwiched between the two SF-23s. In the final, many questions, with the rain making it difficult for some riders, but with a Verstappen who was never afraid of the final success.

Two races in one, but with the same result. In fact, before and after the rain, there was nothing for the chasers to do in Monte Carlo, with Max Verstappen and Red Bull leaving nothing to chance on the track.

Before the rain, in fact, 53 laps skillfully driven by the Dutchman who knows the curves of the Principality citizen, his second home, a flawless race that led to the irritation of the medium tire, only changed to intermediates, just when the RB19 his couldn't take it anymore. A GP that ended with a sensational lead, a full 27 seconds, over Alonso who had dreamed of returning to the top step of the podium.

And after Verstappen, apart from the aforementioned Alonso, anything goes. With Aston Martin hoping for him and an Alpin from Ocon attempting the coup for a long time, nobody was able to keep up with the Dutchman. And with the rain everything hung in the balance for a few laps, with riders making mistakes and taking a lot of risk.

Russell knows something about him, fifth behind Hamilton and penalized by five seconds, but so does Ferrari. With Leclerc finishing sixth ahead of Gasly, in fact, the Reds had to do everything to stay in the top positions. But between rain delays and a few spins before the Prancing Horse's 16, it was Mercedes who scored more points in the end.

A separate chapter for Sainz, with the Spaniard trying several times to trick Oco on the track, but then having to give up. Early in the race, after an overtaking attempt, the two also had contact, with the Frenchman getting the better of the breakaway which then led to third place.

The Madrid-born Ferrari driver, with his arm damaged first and then several long shots, was forced to rebuild his race, which almost ended with a crash into a wall that he luckily avoided. well it did no damage to his SF-23.

Then the McLarens of Norris and Piastri finished in the points, followed by Bottas' Alfa Romeo, De Vries' Alpha Tauri and Zhou's other Alfa. Disappointment for Albo and Tsunoda, with the Japanese protagonist of a long one in the final also causing the yellow flag. Perez, who started from the back, finished 16th, with Verstappen then boosting the Mexican to 39 World Championship points.
