Sergio Perez elected driver of the day in Monaco
Author of a very defensive race and with a strategy that paid off, Sergio Perez emerged victorious and was elected Driver of the Day.
The Mexican certainly didn’t expect to come out on top today, but the stars aligned and he won for the first time this season.
Author of a bold strategy by fitting intermediate tires before all the leading drivers, Sergio Perez gained a lot of ground to become the race leader once his competitors made their pit stops.
After the red flag caused by Mick Schumacher’s accident, the Mexican driver didn’t falter despite a small mistake right from the start of the restart, with a wheel lock-up at Mirabeau. Towards the end of the race, he managed the pressure exerted by Carlos Sainz perfectly, who was seeking his first victory in F1.
He even accelerated his pace in the last moments to widen the gap and secure his first victory on Monegasque soil.
