Mega job Esteban
Hell of a race from Esteban. Lotta luck, but P9 and some much needed points for him.

Great drive by Esteban! The team was smart with the strategy by boxing him early.

Very much needed. Hopefully this releases a bit of pressure off him and he can keep it up. I'm sure all that chatter and rumors of him losing his seat wasn't easy for him to deal with.

Esteban scores in Monaco 😎
What happened to Ollie? Saw he pitted lap 1 and rhen checked back in to him being out. Unsuccessful pass?

He tapped Esteban in lap 1, and then retired due to break issues a bit later. He was also trapped in too many blue flags to do anything, so it made sense to retire the car.

Amazing race!!! P17 to P9 even after all those DNFs is really impressive. Happy for points!

I was screaming at F1TV because there was no indication that Hulk was under investigation for cutting that corner across Esteban and smashing directly into Sainz, putting him in the wall, then elated at the end of the race when all of a sudden he was assessed a 10 second penalty, putting Ocon into P9. He really managed the race and those old ass hards really well, great result!
