Red Bull’s second defeat in three Formula 1 races was by far its worst performance of the season. It was comprehensively outgunned, with Max Verstappen managing only sixth place in the Monaco Grand Prix as Charles Leclerc claimed an emotional home victory for Ferrari.
So was this limp Red Bull performance, compounded by Sergio Perez’s big accident on the first lap, merely a one-off caused by the unique demands of the Monte Carlo circuit, or is there more to it than that?

    Oops! you may notice we've got 2x Mercedes in Sector 1 in this graphic at 03:51. The second Mercedes in the list should be the missing Ferrari (sorry Ferrari fans!) - The video editor.

    7:21 all teams bringing upgrades meanwhile aston martin bringing downgrades🔥
  • @Sbinotto-on5mj
    The fact that we all thought this season would be a write-off but we might actually have a title fight for the constructors in our hands 🔥
  • @sh-spectrum409
    One thing I have to make mention of is how calm the Ferrari personnel are on the pit wall now, even cracking jokes! Fred has been exactly what the Scuderia has needed in terms of leadership for a very long time.

    F1 pundits go 1 second without saying "monegasque" challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
  • The redbull being slow at low speed street circuits isn’t an exposed weakness. We all knew this.
  • @DmT922ha
    They may very well lose the Constructor's, Checo just doesn't cut it anymore..
  • @jordyyyboy98
    I remember Mercedes being slow at Monaco when they was dominating
  • @simrock_
    Monaco may be a historic, prestigious and demanding circuit, but it's becoming ever more clear that it's no longer a good race track for modern F1 cars. Yes Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes did most likely have the better car for the circuit, Verstappen being unable to even try an overtake while he is lapping 2 seconds faster than Russel is something I'd call a major issue.
  • @jasonzervos
    Leclerc wining on Monaco is hands down one of the most memorable moments of this season. And Lando getting his first win right up there as well
  • @impoundedkota
    how do you "dominate" a race when there were only two over takes the entire 78 laps?
  • @kenny8295
    Monaco is just an old track that’s outdated for modern F1 cars. No opportunities to pass. The race is decided during qualifying
  • @stuartorr8192
    No way to overtake so it is all about qualifying. To be circulating 10s slower than qualifying and still not able to overtake the guy in front shows how shit the Monaco circuit is
  • @steve4880
    It's Monaco. You simply can't pass there. If Verstappen was able to get on pole, he would've won, same for Perez. start 2nd, finish 2nd. etc... Verstappen caught Russell in 5 or 6 laps after pitting. So he gained nearly 20 seconds but couldn't pass another car on 50 lap old tires.
  • @AmsterdamHeavy
    It was a Monaco parade without even a need to pit. Just stop.
  • @omenvii242
    I don't understand all the hype about redbull struggling.
  • @Kal_El1994
    Red Bull not on a podium: ‘Everyone liked that’
  • @paulsilas6037
    Lets be real, a clean lap from Max would be up there with Ferrari and Mclaren. Then add the fact that Monaco is a track with almost no possible overtakes. There is no dramatic exposed there.
