Lewis Hamilton

The seven-time champion had ano♋ther lacklustre weekend in Monaco.&ܫnbsp;

Even though Hamilton has won in the principality on three previous occasions, Nico Rosberg often had the upper hand and even Valtteri Bottas was the lead Mercedes i🧜n 20♋17 and 2020.

So it was probably no surprise, given his strugglꩵes so far this year, that Hamilton trailed teamm🅺ate George Russell again in qualifying.

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

On race day, Hamilton was simply stuck in ꦓtra✱ffic with the two Alpines ruining his race. 

Hamilton will be😼 hoping for a smoother💮 weekend in Baku.

Charles Leclerc & Ferrari

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

Ferrari reacted too late and Se💟rgio Perez was able to undercut Leclerc for the race 🤪lead.

Things got even worse for Leclerc four laps later when Ferrar😼i ca🌱lled 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 fourth where he ended up at the chequered f𝔉lag.

It was a big missed opportunity for Ferrari given, like in Spain, th𝕴ey had the fastest car on the day.

Instead, they’ve lost crucial gr🐭oundও to Red Bull and Verstappen in the championship.

Daniel Ricciardo

The Australian has often thrivඣed around the streets of Monaco but like in 2021, it was another weekend of underperformance for Ricciardo.

Ricciardo look💦ed on the pace up until his crash in FP2 but afterwards, his confidence was dented a꧂s he endured another miserable weekend.

He was knocked out i♏n Q2 whereas teammate Norris qualified inside the top five.

With McLaren CEO Zak Brown casting doubt over Ricciardo’s future ahead of the Monaco GP, i𒁏t 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. 

Schumachꦍer was running at the back of the grid when he lost control of his Haas into the Swimming Pool section on Lap 27.

His Haas ca🍌r was completely destroyed and the rear end even fell off.&nb🐈sp;

In the cost cap era, it’s a mistake Schumacher and Haas simply can’t affo🍒rd.

Team principal Guenther Steiner expressed 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 we move forward from ꦚhere.”

The biggest winners at F1 Monaco GP

Sergio Perez

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

Perez had the upper hand over teammate Max Vers♔tappen throughout practice and qualifying.

Red Bull was aggressive with their strategy, swit🦩ching Perez to the intermedia🌸tes.

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

Perez was then able to overcut Sainz as he was stuck behind th🐻e lapped car of Latifi. 

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

Max Verstappen

By his high standards, it was a rare off-week﷽end for the reigning champion in Monaco. 

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

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

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

A weekend of damage limitation for ꦓVerstappen 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 at eve♛ry race this year continued in Monaco. 

It means that Russell still sits ahe𝄹ad of Sainz in the drivers’ championship aft๊er the opening seven rounds of the season.

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

It was a fairly lonely race for Russell with tꦯhe decisive moment coming du🍒ring the switch to slicks.

Russell managed to get past Norris as he exited the pit lane as was forced to go ont🍨o the damp line on the exit of Turn 1 to gain the position. 

Sebastian Vettel

Sebastian Vettel’s impr🎃essive form continued in Monaco with ♈a Q3 appearance for Aston Martin.

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

Ve💯ttel has quietly dominated teammate Lance Stroll this year and his performance in Monaco shows why Aston Martin should retain him for 2023.

An early stop for intermediates dropped him down the order but a series of overtakes on Guanyu Zhou aಞnd Daniel Ricciardo moved him back up to 1ꦛ1th, before securing the final point thanks to Esteban Ocon’s penalty.
