Leclerc, meanwhile, loses the race because the weather gods strike. Heavy rain flooded the race track before the start. The F1 stars are then sent off behind the safety car on rain tires. Then Ferrari made two tactical mistakes: First, the command post left Leclerc out for too long, then they ordered him to stop twice with Sainz, so that the World Cup runner-up had to wait.
Perez, on the other hand, wins because Red Bull is the first in the top group to call him on duty to switch to intermediates.
Mick Schumacher flies off spectacularly in the swimming pool chicane on lap 27 of the Monaco GP and causes a violent accident.
Even before that, he had to come into the pits to change the front wing after touching Alexander Albon (Williams). “Physically, I’m okay,” he says. “But of course it’s very annoying. It was difficult conditions. Unfortunately I was a bit too far out and ended up in the wet. The cars are wider than last year, too wide – I misjudged that a bit.”
