In the magazine: In-depth Monaco review

Read about how Sebastian Vettel played the long game with his tyres to take a superb Monaco Grand Prix win, and how Britain's Dan Wheldon took victory at the Indianapolis 500 after a last-corner crash from rookie JR Hildebrand

Sebastian Vettel capitalised on a risky tyre strategy in Monaco to take his fourth grand prix win from five races this season, but that was just the start of the action in the Principality.

While Vettel's battle with Fernando Alonso was one to savour, there was no shortage of added spice elsewhere in the field, and Hughes finds the stories behind the stories for everything from Lewis Hamilton's ill-fated scrap with Felipe Massa to the real ramifications of Red Bull's pitlane blunder.
