For Daniel, starting in P14, we were hoping for opportunities to come our way, but nothing did, and we could only make up one position to finish P13. Such is the nature of racing in Monaco. It’s been a very long, very hot two weeks on the road for this double-header. In the rapidly changing conditions, we had a 50:50 call that just didn’t work-out for us, and he lost a position – but he didn't put a foot wrong today in challenging conditions. “We’re leaving Monaco with P6 and the fastest lap for Lando. Nine points is more than our competitors for P4 in the Constructors’ Championship managed, which makes this a very positive outcome. I think when we saw the rain come that was quite a surprise - just how quickly and heavy it came. I look forward to the next race in Baku.”

It's back to Baku with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix a fortnight away. And with the rise in popularity of F1, there’s also surely no shortage of replaceable suitors should Monaco attempt to bluff.

He was ahead of Vettel when he hit engine troubles and was forced to retire. Zhou was always up against it starting at the back but matched his team-mate’s strategy by running longer on intermediates before switching to slicks. Climbed to 13th early on but lost places to a trip up the Ste Devote escape road. Spent much of Q1 in the top 15, but the red flag interrupted his final run with only a slender improvement on the lap after the restart. Hit the wall at the hairpin after being released from pits on lap one, which he suspected was down to some throttle-related fault but appeared just to be cold front tyres. Ended up eight-tenths off Albon and never really looked to have the pace of his team-mate. He was quick and pulled off some important passing moves, but only enough to climb to 12th on the road, which became 11th after Ocon’s penalty. That put him behind Gasly, who had passed him in the first stint after switching to intermediates, and added up to 13th place at the finish – the Aussie having jumped Tsunoda when the AlphaTauri driver made his second stop and picked up another place when Magnussen retired. Sainz felt that without Latifi parking in front of him for the first lap of his outlap after changing to hards, he would have won the race. Held sixth in the early stages but opted to extend his wet stint and jump straight to intermediates, which he did at the end of lap 21. Struggled more than Russell at times during practice, but come qualifying looked like he might be getting the edge. But he was on a lap that could potentially have put him on the front row when Q3 was red flagged thanks to Perez’s crash.
