So Charles won...I am waiting for 5 second s penalty for Sainz for lap 1. He shouldn't even been in this race.
Amazing "race". Top 10 finishing same position as at the restart. As emag said, happy to do also other things than Monaco.
No 5 second penalty - they said no further action.

pretty much robbed of even a glimpse of a chance of taking it to Ferrari, but Leclerc won it on Saturday

Good job to Leclerc for that victory. Good job for both of our drivers for 2 and 4. Biggest BS the fact that Sainz was given 3rd as a gift. Oh well. We all know that if that was any other stage we would have passed them in a matter of 2 to 3 laps.

Still decent result on our way to try and get a championship.

I can't put into words how much I dislike Monaco... :D
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

I was joking, because I don't have any expectation from this stewards.
Happy that Sainz is not racing in Indy500 tonight. We may have some racing there 😄😄

GP Monaco is my favorite GP but god damn it's so hard to pass with those huge cars. Gutted that Sainz was gifted a 3rd place.

Once the cars go off the line the leader could drive a lorry and still win... Monaco is just not suitable for the times F1 is in...

Don't undestand why people say Oscar was trying to help Lando at the end. I think his tyres just fell off. Not sure if damage had anything to do with it, we'll see what McLaren says.

Sainz keeping P3 decided the fate of this race. McLaren could've taken some risks with the pit strategy, but I'm still happy with the result.

And as well all the pundits saying its the ultimate drivers test... No its not. The race pace is 10s per lap slower than qualy...cruising

Congrats to McLaren, big fight today and well deserved podium and P4. Clear step above RB here, it's a huge thing for the rest of the season

Personally so happy for Stella, 4 podiums in a row between 6 (ok, 5) very competitive cars is no joke
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

just makes me want to take it to Ferrari even more in the WCC - I'm beginning to get some of that hostility back towards the old enemy, and that makes it more fun

I'm dissapointed. I feel like Mclaren was robbed for a possible victory here with that Sainz in 3rd and it would be a great tribute to Senna.

I know Mclaren is the faster car but Monaco was impossible to pass.

Oscar confirmed via radio that he had struggled in last 15 laps. Probably his 50 laps of tailing Leclerc burned his tyres.

Well at first when he suddenly slowed down so much I thought he wanted to help Lando by sandwitching Sainz. Seems that wasn't the case after all and his tyres died after so many laps behind dirty air.
