Two-time world champion Max Verstappen earns Red Bull a sixth win in as many races as he claims his fourth victory of the Formula One season.

Double world champion Max Verstappen won a soggy and slippery Monaco Grand Prix from pole position on Sunday, May 28, to stretch his Formula One lead to 39 points and earn Red Bull a sixth win in as many races this season.

Mercedes’ seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton was fourth and collected a bonus point for fastest lap. “It was incredibly slippery and when you are that far in the lead you don’t want to push too hard but also you don’t want to lose too much time so it’s quite difficult in that scenario.”The win was Verstappen’s fourth of the season, second in Monaco and 39th of his career. It also made him the driver to have won most races for Red Bull, one more than retired four-time champion Sebastian Vettel.

Verstappen led away cleanly from the start on the medium tires, with Alonso opting for hards and slotting in close behind. Verstappen also slid scarily at Portier as he delayed his pitstop to lap 56 to coincide with the rain, while Alonso initially pitted for mediums and then had to come in again for intermediates.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner said Verstappen would have been under more pressure had Alonso picked the intermediate tires straight away.
