Facts from the last race
Daniel Ricciardo won the seventh race of his F1 career in Monaco, putting him level with Rene Arnoux and Juan Pablo Montoya in terms of victories.

It was a stand-out weekend for Ricciardo, who also took the second pole position of his career, two years after his first, becoming the 68th F1 driver to start from the front more than once.

He also led every lap of the race, becoming the first driver to do so since Lewis Hamilton beat him to last year’s Singapore Grand Prix victory. Ricciardo has now led more laps this year (90) than Hamilton (84).

Sebastian Vettel has led the most, and has also spent the most laps in second place, which happens to be the same total of 139. Championship leader Hamilton has spent more laps in third place than any other position.

Ricciardo missed out on the fastest lap and therefore a ‘grand slam’ too. However Max Verstappen gave Red Bull their fourth fastest lap of the season. Mercedes took the other two and Ferrari haven’t had one yet.

This was the fourth win for Red Bull in Monte-Carlo and their third scored by an Australian, two of the others coming courtesy of Mark Webber. They also took their fifth Monaco pole, which is more than Mercedes or Renault have.

Ricciardo’s success is an encouraging sign of how competitive F1 is in 2018. After six races three different teams have each scored more than one win. This took until round 15 to happen last year and did not happen at all in 2016, 2015 or 2014.

Ricciardo’s pole position time of 1’10.810 was a new record for the circuit. Last year this track had the fourth-shortest lap of the year in terms of time. With the hyper-softs returning for the Canadian Grand Prix, sub-70 second lap times could be possible at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

While Vettel and Hamilton kept up their points-scoring streaks (Hamilton on a record 31), Fernando Alonso failed to add to his points haul for the first time this year. However he remains the only driver who hasn’t been out-qualified by his team mate all year.

Charles Leclerc became the first home driver in the Monaco Grand Prix since Oliver Beretta 24 years earlier. Beretta finished eighth in that race which would have made him a points-scorer today. However Leclerc crashed out with brake failure. His team mate Marcus Ericsson remains the only driver who hasn’t reached Q2 so far this year.

With Daniels grid penalty, this is a tape and watch in the morning job I think!

[KNAPPO]

Im glad Monday is a public holiday, I might get some shut eye and set the alarm to watch the start and make the call if I endure the rest of the race.

[w00dsy]

I have a bad feeling this will be another Lewis whitewash. He has a great record there, 6 all up and the last 3 in a row.

[KNAPPO]

Ill be surprised if Loowis doesn't win this weekend.

[Duke]

I'm with you both, barring mechanicals I reckon Loowis will be near untouchable.
But I still love this race, it just has something even if the track layout isn't that exciting.

[Big Kev]

Merc are not bringing their engine upgrade. That might hit them if Ferrari do. Renault and Honda certainly are.

[KNAPPO]

Merc are not bringing their engine upgrade. Renault and Honda certainly are.

It'll be interesting to see how Renault v Honda plays out in regards to Red Bull's future engine supplier this weekend.
Also, I reckon its a big factor in who Riccardo signs up for in his next contract.

[KNAPPO]

Reporter: Max, why do you have so many accidents.
Max: I dont know....
And as I said in the beginning of the press conference, I get tired of all these questions, If I get asked that question again, I might head but someone

Press conference video wont embed but this link should take you to the clip

He really needs a clean weekend this round but, now I want to see him head but someone then wall it just to to complete the circle.

[w00dsy]

Maybe he's more like his father than we thought.

[Jamo]

Petulant little shit.

[Dr. Pain]

Maybe he's more like his father than we thought.

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[hutchy]

Clearly I was wrong, he hasn't looked that competitive all weekend. Red Bulls pace has been surprising.

[r8response]

[Dr. Pain]

Grosjean is having a good weekend so far, "A groundhog hit me!", in practice then kaboom right at the start of quali.

[Duke]

Lucky he didn't hit it in that helmet-cam vid.

[nutty]

What a snoozfest.. Lucky I didn't get up for it.

I know we all sound like a broken record, but its a history of single stop races always being the most boring. Pirelli need to do something about it. It sucks, but unless they bring back refueling they need tyres to force teams to mixup the strategy

[w00dsy]

Apparently that Winnie Harlow chick that waved the flag early(fucking up Ricciardos fastest lap bonus) is Hamilton's girlfriend. Maybe they bonded over both being half black and half white.

[Big Kev]

Yep, silly cow. Probably gave her the flag and said go and stand there and then she just started waving it a lap early. They have to call the race at that point in case someone backs off and loses a place through no fault of their own.
