5 Things We Learned From The 2021 Monaco Grand Prix

A tactical race in Monaco with little overtaking action, but a massively significant round in the championship as Red Bull and Verstappen take the lead in both the Constructor's and Driver's championships after the race at the Principality.

There were a huge number of talking points with Carlos Sainz taking his first podium with Ferrari, Lando Norris making it into the top 3 once again and a comeback drive from Sergio Perez. Not only this but Charles Leclerc's crash on Saturday afternoon proved to be more costly than anticipated after he failed to make the start of the race after a huge risk was taken by Ferrari.

Not only this but Sebastian Vettel made his way to the points for the first time this season with a 5th place finish.

Here are my 5 things we learned from the Monaco grand prix!

You were very kind to the tv directors. The cutaway from Vettel's pit exit was criminal.

[konni]

Everyone has been laughing about Mazespin, but Tsunoda has been hyped since the season opener and has not shown a single convincing performance since then, whereas Gasly shows week in and week out that this is a truly competive car.

My 5 things
Lecrec a poor guy
Super max
Left tyre refusing
Lewis screaming
vettel and Gasly close encounter missed by tv crew

A beautiful moment Max and Carlos are ex teammates as well as carlos and Lando and Max and Lando are best mates ❤

[lagremitsake]

Me and my Uncle were yelling things that cannot be repeated on YouTube at sky for cutting away from Seb's pit exit

[jackporter]

A poor weekend for merc is a good weekend for F1

[Promit_Hazra]

All we want to see is the championship dragging on till the last round

[bassplayerify]

I really wish McLaren would keep the gulf oil livery.

[coreymoorey]

Is was absolutely losing it when Checo came out just in front of Gasly Vettel and Hamilton. Well done Red Bull great to see the team strategy working

[boozelala]

Was so damn good to see Carlando and Max on the podium! That Mclaren Gulf livery...my god it is soo beautifull, please keep it!

[jamesmiddleton]

The one race of the calender that is not directed by f1's tv company, and they fuck it up

[bjrnchrstn]

Love mercedes off weekends. They have been winning so often they act butthurt when things dont go their way and lady luck isnt around to save hammy.

[israel]

Bringing back this question… Does Riccardo regret leaving Red-bull now?

[likilikiki]

Being that it's an iconic and nostalgic circuit i'd say keep it on the calendar till the end of times.
I'll bet if you ask any of the drivers if they could only win one race in their career wich one it would be, i think the bulk of them would say Monaco.

[yuyy]

Binotto said a problem with the left driveshaft had been found on Leclerc's car, replacing the gearbox wasn’t going to fix it

[Tyler_Evans]

I just hope we can see a great checo race when it isn’t a recovery drive

[Wizzkidwas]

Sainz definitely had the pace to be threatening Bottas, but for most of it was managing the gap to not get dirty air'd

[Dante-nucn]

Leclerc was a really big shame, but bottas also made me sad

[Apratis]

Saturday was amazing. Monaco shall stay forever

[nicolastselentis]

kinda tired of people associating maxs start of the season to mistakes when you see hamilton in imola and monaco, max is the most consistent rn so people should stop saying that

[Ancovg]

We've seen the cutaway from action more often, not just at Monaco... But not having a camera ready at pit exit? That's stupid.
