Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen gave the opposition no chance at the Monaco GP.
The championship leader was in front from start to finish, and not even the rain that arrived during the race disturbed him on his way to a dominating triumph in the streets of Monte Carlo.
Start without incidents or changes in the lead, with Verstappen conserving command in front of Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon. There were some touches, but without causing any neutralization. However, there were drivers who got punctures and had to go through the pit lane after the first lap.
Verstappen began to distance himself from Alonso and, when he began to be able to use DRS on the third lap, he already had a margin of more than a second preventing his rival from resorting to that help. Alonso was also isolated in second, while Ocon was never far ahead of Sainz. Lewis Hamilton was a solid ranked fifth above Charles Leclerc.
