Red Bull’s Max Verstappen breezed to his maiden Monaco Grand Prix win over the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz and McLaren’s Lando Norris, with Ferrari polesitter and home hero Charles Leclerc failing to take the start after suffering a pre-race driveshaft issue – Verstappen also claiming the lead of the drivers’ championship for the first time in his career after Lewis Hamilton finished a disappointed P7.
Starting effectively from pole after Leclerc’s cruel side-lining, Verstappen out-muscled Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas off the line to take a lead that he would only briefly relinquish in the pit stops, Verstappen claiming his second win of the season, and his first ever podium in Monaco. --read more--

F1 | Leclerc beats Verstappen to sensational Monaco pole as late crash prevents others improving
Charles Leclerc delivered on Ferrari’s shock Monaco Grand Prix pace to take a brilliant pole position in his home race – but his delight was tempered slightly when he ended the session in the barriers.
The Monegasque put together the fastest lap of the weekend with his first run in Q3 but pushed a little too hard on his second run, clipping the Armco as he turned into the chicane, which broke his front suspension sending him across the kerb and into the barrier on the other side.
That incident brought out the red flag with less than a minute to go, ending the session prematurely and preventing anyone – including Max Verstappen who was purple in sector one – from completing their final lap. --read more--

Tire Allocations
Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix 2021
WHY WE’VE CHOSEN THE TYRES
- The softest Pirelli compound in the range (called the ‘C5’, which stands for ‘compound 5’) makes its grand prix debut in 2021. With the softest line-up in the range nominated for the first time this year, the P Zero White hard tyre in Monaco will be the C3, the P Zero Yellow medium will be the C4, and the P Zero Red will be the C5.
- Monaco is not only the shortest lap of the year with the lowest average speed, but it also has the slowest corner of the year. To cope with this, the teams use a high-downforce package with a specific front and rear wing to balance downforce levels. There are also bespoke aerodynamic appendages, as well as adjustments to the steering to provide the extra lock needed to get round the Fairmont Hairpin.
Tires for Monaco
The Pirelli tire allocations for the FORMULA 1 MONACO GRAND PRIX 2020 are: (See chart.)
Red (C5) - Soft - Fastest
Yellow (C4) - Medium - .9 seconds per lap slower
White (C3) - Hard - 1.8 seconds per lap slower
Wet Weather
Green - Intermediates - Used when track conditions are wet and starting to dry
Blue - Full Wets - Used when it's actually raining
The 'Full Wets' (blue) can dissipate 85 liters/ 22.45462 gallons per second. The Intermediates (green), used when the track is wet in some areas and dry in others, can dissipate 30 liters/ 7.92516 gallons per second.
