With no safety car, some quite long stints were run on this tyre (in excess of 30 laps for everyone) with just a minor drop-off in performance. SOFT C5: The predominant start tyre, which was worth more than half a second per lap on a circuit where track position is key.Alpine’s Fernando Alonso ran the medium for 45 laps at the start of the race before switching to the soft: choosing a unique strategy, like his team mate.

MEDIUM C4: Used by some drivers during the first stint and only Ocon for the second stint. The hard was generally preferred to the medium for the second stint due to the good level of grip provided by the asphalt and the warm temperatures.

Stroll and AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda began the race on this compound, with the Japanese driver running it for a marathon 64 laps before switching to soft.
HARD C3: This was used by most drivers for the second stint, including the top six. Weather conditions were slightly warmer than they had been yesterday and were more similar to free practice on Thursday, with around 20 degrees ambient and 40 degrees of track temperature. He pitted for fresh tyres and recorded a 1m:12.909s. Alpine’s Esteban Ocon started on the soft tyre but switched to the medium after 37 laps to finish ninth: the only driver to run this strategy. In 2021, as he laboured to a seventh-place finish, Hamilton was able to set the fastest ever race lap record in Monaco. Together with our colleagues at Mercedes HPP, they gave us a quick car this weekend. Congratulations and a big thank you to the entire team, especially to those at the MTC in development and production. Marc Mayo Ben Hunt 22:17, Updated: 22:17, MAX.

F1 Monaco Grand Prix LIVE RESULTS: Verstappen WINS, Hamilton and Mercedes disappoint reaction, latest updates. All the drivers stopped only once, with the exception of Lewis Hamilton, who finished seventh for Mercedes with a late second stop to claim the fastest lap on P Zero Red soft tyres. The top six all adopted the same soft-hard strategy, but both the P Zero White hard and the P Zero Yellow medium tyres were also seen at the race start. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz finished second while Lando Norris was third for McLaren. Verstappen’s win also moved him into the lead of the drivers’ standings. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen claimed the Monaco win with a one-stop soft-hard strategy from what effectively became pole position, after the original polesitter (Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc) was unable to start.
