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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
He even accelerated his pace in the last moments to widen the gap and secure his first victory on Monegasque soil.<\/p>\n
