Track Torque: Hamilton happy, misery for Max
It was an interesting race despite overtaking being so difficult at this track.
Although Lewis Hamilton led the entire second half of the race and ultimately won the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo, it was nail-biting for Hamilton fans especially to see Max Verstappen snapping at his heels all the way to the finish line, just half a second behind at the chequered flag.

Verstappen was definitely my driver of the day but unfortunately he got a five second penalty for bumping Valtteri Bottas on his way to the front.
As a result of this Sebastian Vettel finished second with Bottas third and miserable Max classified fourth.
After the podium finishes and Verstappen came Pierre Gasly in the other Red Bull, while Carlos Sainz drove very well to beat his team mate in the other McLaren.
Lando Norris finished 11th, out of the points, while Toro Rosso with Daniel Kyvat and team mate Alexander Albon were seventh and eighth respectively, with all four Hondas in the top eight.
Daniel Ricciardo was ninth in his Renault and Romain Grosjean tenth in the last points scoring position.
It was a great race despite the extremely difficult overtaking positions at Monaco.
Hamilton had tyre problems which made his job much harder but had managed to keep Verstappen at bay for most of the race.
It is now a trip across the pond to Canada for a another potentially exciting race now that Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull are more closely matched.
