Ferrari's Charles Leclerc secured a historic victory at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, becoming the first driver from Monaco to win the prestigious race since Louis Chiron in 1931. This win was particularly significant for Leclerc, who had never before finished on the podium in his previous five attempts at this race. The event was marked by two standing starts from pole position, necessitated by early collisions that eliminated a fifth of the competitors.
McLaren's Oscar Piastri finished in second place, trailing Leclerc by 7.1 seconds, while Ferrari's Carlos Sainz took third. Red Bull's Max Verstappen, the current championship leader and last year's Monaco winner, started and ended the race in sixth place. This was a rare instance of the three-time world champion being outperformed, having only been beaten in two other races this season out of the eight held so far.
Looking ahead to the rest of the 2024 Formula One season, ten teams and twenty drivers will aim to challenge Red Bull and Verstappen's dominance. Every practice, qualifying session, sprint, and race will be broadcast live on SuperSport, ensuring fans won't miss a moment of the action.
As the new season unfolds, all eyes will be on how seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton performs in his final year with Mercedes before his move to Ferrari, and whether Ferrari can continue their momentum from Monaco to counter Red Bull's formidable performance.
