The Mexican driver controlled the whole race in the mixed conditions to keep the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz, Max Verstappen, and Charles Leclerc behind.

Perez was ecstatic on the team radio on in-lap after crossing the chequered flag. This is Checo’s third win in Formula One and his second with the Austrian team since joining them at the beginning of the 2021 season.

The win is even sweeter for the Mexican driver, as he was denied the win in Barcelona a week earlier. On the team radio, while celebrating the win, Perez mentioned that this is where they belong on the grid.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner too was really happy for his driver for getting the team’s 5th win of the season. ” Checo, you have won Monaco well done. Unbelievable drive and what a brilliant drive,” said Horner.
