Losers

Lewis Hamilton

The s🀅even-time champion had another lacklustre weekend in Monaco♈. 

Even though Hamilton has won in the p🔯rincipality on three previous occasions, Nico Rosberg often had the upper hand and even Valtteri Bottas was the lead Mercedes in 2017 and 2020.

So it was probably no surprise, given his struggles so far this year, that Hami🌊lton trailed teammate George Russell again in qualifying.

Granted, Hamilton w♌as unfortunate with the timing on the red flag but it was unlikely he was going to beat Lando Norris or Russell regardless.

On race day, Hamilton was simply stuck in traffic with the two Alpines♋ ruining his race. 

Ha🎀milton will be hoping for a smoother weeken📖d in Baku.

Charles Leclerc & Ferrari

After dominating his home race, the 2022 Monaco GP completely unravelled forꦡ Charles Leclerc when he made his first pit stop for intermediates on Lap 18.

Ferrari reacted too late and Sergio Perez was able to undercut Lec๊lerc for the race lead.

Things got even ജworse for Leclerc four laps later when Ferrari called him for slicks on the same lap as teammate Carlos Sainz, meaning he was forced to queue. 

This cost Leclerc another position to his main title rival Max Verstappen, dropping him 🦩to fou𒁏rth where he ended up at the chequered flag.

It was a big missed opport🍌unity for Ferrari given, like in Spain, they had thꩵe fastest car on the day.

Instead, they’ve ꦜlost crucial ground to Red Bull an🌼d Verstappen in the championship.

Daniel Ricciardo

The Australian has often t🎉hrived around the streets of Monaco but like in 2021, it was another weekend of u💫nderperformance for Ricciardo.

Ricciardo looked on the pace up until his crash in FP2 but afterwards, his confidence was dented🀅 as he endured another miserable weekend.

He was knocked out in Q2 whereas teamm♈ate Norris qualified inside the top fi🐈ve.

With McLaren CEO Zak 🐲Brown casting doubt over Ricciardo’s future ahe🐲ad of the Monaco GP, it was an untimely poor weekend for the former Red Bull man.

Mick Schumacher 

It was another 🍎nightmare race for Mick Schumacher in Monaco with another costly crash. 🦂;

Schumacher was running at the back of the grid when he lost co𒉰ntrol of his Haas intꦛo the Swimming Pool section on Lap 27.

His Haas car was completely ꩲdestroyed and the rear end even fell off. 

In the costಌ cap era, it’s a mistake 🐭Schumacher and Haas simply can’t afford.

Team principal Guenther Steiner expreꦦssed his annoyance after the race on Sunday: “With Mick, we obviously saw what happened. It’s not very satisfactory having a big crash again. We need to see how 𝔉we move forward from here.”

The biggest winners at F1 Monaco GP

Sergio Perez

Sergio💃 Perez was on it all weekend 𒁏as he led Red Bull’s charge in the principality.

Perez had the💃 upper hand over teammate Max Verstappen throughout practice and qualifying.

Red Bull was aggressive with their strategy, 🌠switching Perez to the intermediates.

Fortune was on their side though as Norris decided to pit a⛦s soon as Perez came out behind him, giving the Mexican crucial free air to undercut Leclerc.

Perez was then able to overcut Sainz as he was stuck behind t💝he lapped car of Latifi. 

The win was all but secured after the red flag but it 🎶was a nervy ending for Perez as he grained his front tyres 🐎following a heavy lock-up at the restart.

Max Verstappen

By his high stand♉ards, it was a rare off-weekend for the reigning champion in Monaco. 

Even so, he was able🌃 to extend his championship lead over Leclerc by three points. 

Verstappen struggled at Turn 1 through Friday practice but found gains in♔ qualifying.

Without the red flag, ironically caused by his teammate, Verstappen was on course to secure second and thus the race mighﷺt have been very different for the Dutchman.

A weekend of d💛amage limitation for Verstappen but given that he extended his championship ♚lead, he leaves Monaco as one of our winners.

George Russell

George Russell’s 🍨record of finishing inside the top five ﷺat every race this year continued in Monaco. 

It means that Russell still sits ahead of Sainz in the d🍎rivers’ championship after the opening seven rounds of the season.

With Mercedes remaining in ‘no man’s land’ behind the top two teams and ahead of the midfield, there’s not much more Russell can do until Mercedes unlock more performance from their 🗹W13.

It was a fairly lonely race for Russell with the decisive moment coming during the switch to slic🏅ks.

Russell managed to get past Norris as he exited the pit lane as was forced toﷺ 𒁏go onto the damp line on the exit of Turn 1 to gain the position. 

Sebastian Vettel

Sebastian Vettel’s impressive form continued in Monaco with a 🧔Q3 appearance for Aston Martin.

It kept up his streak of qualifying inside the top 10 on the principality which💃 stretches back to his days with Red Bull in 2009. 

Vettel has quietly dominated teammate Lance Stroll this year and his performance in Monaco💞 shows why Aston Ma🍨rtin should retain him for 2023.

An early stop for intermediaඣtes dropped him down the order but a series of overtakes on Guanyu Zhou and Daniel Ricciardo moved him back up to 11th, before securing the final point thanks to Esteban Ocon’s penalty.
