Just a week ago, Sergio Pérez was denied the victory in Barcelona after team orders had him give the lead to teammate Max Verstappen. But now, Pérez has taken the win.
Pérez made Monaco Grand Prix history as he became the first Mexican driver to win the jewel of Formula One. And, he is the most successful Mexican driver in F1’s history after winning his third race.
“It’s a dream come true,” Pérez said. “It’s a massive day for myself and my country.”
Behind him, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz stayed hot on Pérez’s tail but finished in second, and Verstappen rounded out the podium in third after a chaotic, rain-delayed race.
