Monaco Grand Prix: The best photos from Sergio Perez' wet and wild win

Monaco Grand PrixChristian Hartmann

• Sergio Perez won a wet and wild Monaco Grand Prix.
• The future of the race is in doubt as the cars have outgrown the narrow track. But thanks to rain that delayed the start of the race, we had strong racing throughout and even some overtakes.
• Ferrari started 1-2, with Monaco native Charles Leclerc on pole, but a botched pit strategy cleared the way for Perez to win with championship leader Max Verstappen in third. Leclerc fell to fourth behind his teammate Carlos Sainz (P2) and the two Red Bull rivals.
• We collected the best photos from the wild race at the Monaco Grand Prix, where glitz and glamour are always on full display.

The yachts were out for the race.
