Constantly recharged
The car of the Ferrari leader broke down before the start: the consequences of the accident on Saturday came out.
It hurts but the winner of the Ch classification. The day before, the team had decided not to change the gearbox, which could have been damaged during the accident on Saturday (the driver would have been fined for this). But on Sunday, the situation turned in favor of Ferrari’s rivals: Monaco watched the race from the stands. In general, the walls of the house do not usually help him … The Red Bull driver started from the first position Max Verstappen.
M.Verstappen was a bit late at the start of the race, but V. Bott, who started from second position, failed to take advantage of it.
This route does not forgive mistakes, the curves here are very difficult due to the narrow streets. Therefore, a precise braking strategy is very important. Pitlane the bar here is very short. As a result, pilots lose up to 20 seconds here.
And entry is unavoidable, as all the leaders started the race on used “red” soft tires. Of course, a safety car can turn everything upside down. Let’s not forget that Mercedes’ strategy often pays off.
The first 10-wheel miracles did not happen:
24/78 The leaders have already passed Nikita Mazepin in a circle. Amíltom adhered to P6 without attempting to attack P. Gasly. C.Sainz P3 approached V. Botto (P2), but there was no chance to duck. They all drove in a disciplined manner, trying not to cause accidents and avoiding car safety (SC).
30/78. Mercedes tragedy. Hamilton was the first to stop in the pits and changed his tires to hard “white”. After stopping his bite, V. Bot got stuck in the service area – mechanics were unable to remove the stuck right front wheel. The screw, which costs about 2000 Eur, is stuck …
At that point, Vettel overtook Gasly and Hamilton, who dived into the P7. This became a huge boost for the Red Bull drivers.
35/78 Verstappen stopped changing his wheels, temporarily switching to his friend S. Pérez. S. Vettel surprised with a great ride, even keeping the P5 on new unheated tires.
This failure of the Silver Arrows has revived many intrigues, both in the race and in the championship.
Halfway through the race, the qualifying looked like this: M.Verstapuelve (Red Bull), C. Sainzas (Ferrari), L. Norrisas (McLaren).
