How Ferrari lost the Monaco GP | Paddock Packdown
Charles Leclerc’s hopes of finally winning his home Formula 1 race in Monaco came undone in heart-breaking fashion on Sunday as Ferrari failed to maximise its front row lock-out.
Rain shook up proceedings just ahead of the delayed start to the race, but Leclerc was able to hold firm at the front of the pack to begin with - only for things to unravel and leave the Monegasque a disappointing fourth at the chequered flag.
Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz also saw his chance to win the race pass by, paving the way for Sergio Perez to scoop victory for Red Bull and keep the team’s impressive run of form going.
But where did things go so wrong for Ferrari in Monaco on Sunday? In the latest edition of Paddock Packdown from Monaco, Autosport F1 reporter Luke Smith looks at the factors that cost the Scuderia victory, and what lessons it needs to learn from in a difficult defeat.
