Max Verstappen has won the Monaco GP in a race covered in water after it started to rain on lap 50. The Red Bull driver started from the pole position and did not give up the lead in the entire race. Fernando Alonso was second after chasing the shadow of the Dutchman, who was much better and came to take more than 25 seconds. Rain forced the Spaniard to stop twice in a row to change tyres, and although he was able to hold position, he lost a lot of ground to the champion. Behind Alonso came Esteban Ocon to complete the podium. The man from Alpine had a nice battle with Carlos Sainz during the first half of the race. Ocon defended himself against the Ferrari, creating a caravan that helped Alonso and Verstappen. Finally, the man from Madrid finished eighth, although he contested a race in which he constantly sought to climb positions. The rain made the race more chaotic, causing several minor accidents. Checo Pérez started last and was not able to climb the positions, finishing in 17th place. Stroll and Magnussen were forced to resign.
