Team by team review of the Monaco Grand Prix

MONACO : Team by team review of Sunday's Monaco Formula One Grand Prix, round eight of the 24-race season.

RED BULL (Max Verstappen 6, Sergio Perez retired)

Verstappen started and finished sixth, after struggling in qualifying, with his championship lead over Ferrari's Leclerc cut to 31 points. He started on the hard tyre, changed to mediums at the red flag and then pitted for hards on lap 52 without losing position. Perez crashed with the two Haas drivers on lap one, ending his race and bringing out red flags.

FERRARI (Charles Leclerc 1, Carlos Sainz 3)

Leclerc started from pole, Ferrari's 250th, and led from lights to flag to end his Monaco jinx and become the first home winner since Louis Chiron in pre-championship 1931. The win was the sixth of his career and he was only the third Ferrari driver to win in Monaco this century. Sainz started and finished third, saved by the red flags after suffering a puncture in a first corner clash with Piastri but being allowed to re-start in third. Ferrari are now 24 points behind Red Bull.

MCLAREN (Oscar Piastri 2, Lando Norris 4)

Piastri, racing in the team's special tribute livery to late Brazilian great Ayrton Senna, equalled his best finish so far in a full Formula One grand prix. Both he and Norris started on medium tyres and then switched to used hards.

Both drivers started on the hard compound with those ahead on mediums, the Mercedes pair aiming to run long, but the red flags wrecked that strategy. Russell then did 77 laps on mediums while Hamilton pitted to go back onto hards on lap 51, without losing position. Hamilton set the fastest lap.

ASTON MARTIN (Fernando Alonso 11, Lance Stroll 14)

Stroll was the only driver to make two
