Charles Leclerc wins at home in Monaco. Finally! Understandably, it was an emotional win – for the small country of Monaco, the Royal Family and even Ferrari.
45 years since Ferrari last converted a pole position to victory. The last Monegasque driver to win in Monaco was way back in 1950 (Louis Chiron)!
Did you know? Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso are 4:4 each in head-to-head qualifying
While Leclerc is a popular winner, the way in which he won wasn’t. But he did so in typical Monaco style – winning the race at the slowest possible pace. But why did Leclerc & other race slowly? Why were Verstappen-Red Bull struggling? Should Kevin Magnussen have received a penalty for the opening lap crash with Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg?
The top-10 qualifiers claimed the top-10 points scoring finishing positions in the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix!
Congratulations to Alexander Albon and Williams for scoring their first points of the season with a fine 9th place finish. Also, Pierre Gasly opened his points account in Monaco despite an embarrassing opening lap clash with Esteban Ocon.
