The water pressure didn’t even change. Verstappen dominates from start to finish and that he always had a big advantage over the Spaniard, who didn’t have too much trouble to secure second place, and wasn’t even bothered by a tire choice error when he showed up rain that did not result in either a safety car or related accidents in the Grand Prix with only one refusal from the Canadian Lance Stroll, L.Worst news for Aston Martin.

Anyway, Alonso also made no mistake and added a new podium with Aston Martin. to match 103 Finns Kimi Raikkonen get closer to the second place mexican Sergio Perez (Red Bull) that he started last and that he could not overcome on a track where it is almost impossible to overtake to finish sixteenth.
Things didn’t go well either. Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) that on the track, where he usually performs well despite starting fourth, was fined for his team’s strategy and then it was almost impossible for him to restore his position.
As Alonso had warned, he was not overly aggressive in the always important start at Monaco. forstappen, who chose medium tires, i.e.He also did not disappoint and kept his position ahead of the Spaniards, who equipped his “AMR23” hard, with windows talso be calm and Sainz also defends his fourth position drive a traditional “train” of cars through the streets of Monaco.
The pilots flew away knowing that rain was threatening on the radar, the only thing that could add “pepper” on Sunday, because. the defending champion soon opened a big leadlike Oviedo with the rest. Sainz tried it with Okon, but at the cost of losing a piece of the front wing without consequences, while Alonso scared too when he warned his “box” about some strange behavior of his car.
He will go far, this guy 😃#GP Monaco @alo_official pic.twitter.com/ui2szeyraK

The two-time world champion could once again pose a threat to Verstappen when he hit the first double and got to just over five seconds. Mirage because Red Bull dominates again when he found clean air while behind, Ferrari sent Sainz to the “boxes”provoking his anger for diminishing his podium opportunities, although after Prancing Horse he had more of a goal to protect him from Lewis Hamilton.
Finallythere was a threat of rainalthough his influence did not go beyond the massive change of rubber. Alonso did it and surprised by putting in some funds, ineffective as the water fell harder, forcing him back inside. His advantage over the rest did not endanger his second place, although he missed every opportunity to threaten Verstappen.
“I didn’t see anything” 🙈

On a difficult track Sainz tried his best to overtake Okon, but he held on and the man from Madrid turned around, eventually weighing him down next to the new entrance to the pits. The champion had a quiet ending win in Monaco for the second time in his career and Alonso wasn’t hurt either. to add a second place he hasn’t achieved since 2014 with Ferrari in Hungary. Verstappen already has 39 income points over his teammate, which leads the Oviedo player by 12.
