Carlos Sainz in his Ferrari F1-75 challenger really pushed Perez in the latter stages of the race but couldn’t overtake him. In this process, he claimed a second-place finish which is both crucial for him and Ferrari. Max Verstappen finished on the podium once again after sealing the third-place finish.
Charles Leclerc will be gutted as he once again dropped positions and finished in the fourth spot. His Monaco curse continues but this time he manages to end the race without any issues. The strategy that Ferrari used with him certainly cost him his place and points overall. George Russell once again finished in the top five after taking home the fifth position and was followed by McLaren’s Lando Norris in the sixth spot.
Fernando Alonso showed his experience on the track once again as he didn’t let Hamilton overtake him and settled for a seventh-place finish. Lewis Hamilton was once again reeling behind and struck in traffic as he took home the eighth spot. Valtteri Bottas could only manage a ninth-place finish and was followed by Sebastian Vettel in the tenth spot.

Pierre Galsy was looking very confident in the starting stages of the race and even climbed up positions while changing his tyres to intermediates. Gasly took home the eleventh position and was followed by Esteban Ocon in the twelfth spot.
Daniel Ricciardo had a bad outing today in the office as he could only manage a thirteenth spot finish. Lance Stroll took home the fourteenth position and was followed by Nicholas Latifi in the fifteenth spot.
Guanyu Zhou had to settle for a sixteenth place finish and Yuki Tsunoda finished last in the seventeenth position as three drivers had to retire from the race. The first to retire was Kevin Magnussen and minutes after that Mick Schumacher crashed and saw himself bow out of the race.
