\n<\/b>He started on the pole and finished the race in the same positon. Lewis Hamilton was keen to prevent Max Verstappen from overtaking him. The British man managed to restart the race superbly after the intervention of the Safety Car on the track to let the marshals collect the hazard left by Charles Leclerc. The Mon\u00e9gasque had to retire after his crash with Nico H\u00fclkenberg at la Rascasse.
\n<\/span>During the SC all the front drivers pitted. Another race incident happened at this moment. Max Verstappen was released unsafely by his mechanics and got a 5-second penalty. This is the reason why he is not standing on the podium today.
\n<\/span>Even if the last few laps were stressful, Lewis Hamilton was the first driver to cross the finish line. Max Verstappen finished second but with his penalty he\u2019s down to 4th. The podium of this 77th Monaco Grand Prix is composed of Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas. Pierre Gasly gets the extra point for the best lap in 1\u201914\u2019\u2019279. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Lewis Hamilton:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00ab\u00a0It\u2019s probably the hardest race I ever had. For me there was no way I was going to make it. We all know it has been a hard weekend emotionally. \u00a0I was fighting with the spirit of Niki. I was trying to make him proud\u00a0\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\nFormula Renault drivers offered a quiet race for their last appearance on the Mon\u00e9gasque track. At the end of the 30 minutes and one lap Alekansder Smolyar is the winner. Second at the end of yesterday\u2019s race, the Russian man was able to keep his starting position. Victor Martins and Joao Vieira are the two other drivers on the podium.<\/p>\n
\n
\nStarting in pole position after Larry ten Voorde\u2019s 2 grid place penalty, Michael Ammerm\u00fcler secured the win in the Porsche race. The German pilot had a quiet race even with the Safety Car intervention 5 laps before the end of the race. The BWT Lechner Racing driver finished ahead Mikkel O. Pedersen and Larry ten Voorde. This is his first win of the season after his third position in Barcelona two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
\nSaturday<\/h3>\n
\n<\/b>The race was hectic as five drivers had to retire. The Safety Car came twice on the track but nothing to perturb Anthoine Hubert who was able to keep his starting position. The end of the race was restless as Louis Deletraz was in Hubert\u2019s rear. The pilots finished the race side by side but at the end the French man was the first to cross the finish line. Guanyu Zhou could overtake Artem Markelov in the first lap and took his place on the third step of the podium.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/span><\/b>We had to wait until the very end of the qualifying to know the man in pole position. Lewis Hamilton got the pole thanks to an aggressive final lap. He is ahead Valtteri Bottas, who finished 0\u2019\u2019086 behind his teammate. The Mercedes drivers will try to have a 6th consecutive 1-2 finish. Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel will start on the second line and will try to stop the Mercedes dominion. A new track record was set during the qualifying as Lewis Hamilton completed his pole position lap in 1\u201910\u2019\u2019166.\u00a0 The elimination of Charles Leclerc in Q1 was a bombshell. The Mon\u00e9gasque will start from the 16th position tomorrow. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Lewis Hamilton:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00ab\u00a0This is definitely one of the best pole I can remember. I can\u2019t remember one that was as important as this one. It has been a difficult week. But I\u2019m proud of everyone and now we will try to deliver.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nLast free practice before the qualifying at 3pm this afternoon. After 20 minutes in the session Sebastian Vettel hit the wall at Sainte-D\u00e9vote. The German came with too much speed in the first corner and couldn\u2019t stop his car before the crash. The mechanics will have two hours to repair the car. At the end of the 60-minute session Charles Leclerc tops the FP3 with 1\u201911\u2019\u2019265. The Mon\u00e9gasque took a lot of confidence for the qualifying.<\/p>\n

\n
\nThe first of the two F2 races was eventful. Even if it\u2019s hard to overtake on the Mon\u00e9gasque track the pilots have been jostling for position. In the middle of the race Mick Schumacher hit Tatiana Calderon at la Rascasse. The crash created a blocus and the race directors had to wave the red flag to unblock the area. The race restarted after a few minutes of interruption. The last few laps were perturbed by the crashes of Jack Atiken and Juan Manuel Correa, which required the intervention of the Safety Car. At the end of the 41 laps Nyck de Vries won the race ahead Luca Ghiotto and Nobuharu Matsushita.<\/p>\n
\n
\nThis morning qualifying was driven on a wet track. And when the circuit is wet it becomes trickier for the drivers. After a spin Alessio Deledda ended up his session at Sainte-D\u00e9vote. Two minutes before the end of the Group A qualifying Sebastian Fernandez hit the rails at the top of Ostende.<\/p>\n

\nThe F1 are finally on the track. After Formula Renault and F2 sessions, it was their turn to practice on the Mon\u00e9gasque circuit during 1h30.
