Sergio Perez started in P3 behind the two Ferrari drivers, Charles Leclerc (P1) and Carlos Sainz (P2). The race was interrupted by rain and multiple VSCs, which helped Red Bull to successfully overcut the two Ferraris. In the end, Sergio Perez won his first-ever Monaco Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen (2021) - First Monaco victory
In his first championship-winning season, Max Verstappen won his first Monaco GP. It was the best season in many years as the competition between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton was intense.

But a mechanical failure in his left driveshaft has pushed him out of the race. So Verstappen started as a de facto pole sitter and won the race.
