Sergio Pérez won the Formula 1 classic in Monaco.

The Red Bull teammate of last year's winner and world champion Max Verstappen relegated Carlos Sainz in the Ferrari to second place in a race that was initially characterized by heavy rain.

Championship leader Verstappen was third.

Mick Schumacher causes a serious accident.

The international press writes about this:

Great Britain

The Sun:

“Sergio Perez wins another boring Monaco Grand Prix.

Despite the Schumacher crash, there were hardly any overtaking maneuvers throughout the race.”

Daily Mail:

Leclerc loses a race he should have won.

Horror for the Monegasque and not a good day for race director Eduardo Freitas.

What was he doing there?

As a precaution, the start was rescheduled because there had been no previous session on a wet track.

Come on!

These aren't grannies shopping in a storm."

The Guardian:

"In a hard-fought championship, this was a potentially pivotal moment and Ferrari proved so inadequate that title contender Charles Leclerc was left screaming in frustration."

France

"L'Equipe":

"Perez, the prince of the principality.

Leclerc, still cursed.

(...) Pole man Charles Leclerc, so often unlucky in Monaco, has finally seen the finish line of his home Grand Prix, but in a terribly frustrating fourth place for him.”

“Le Figaro”:

“The perfect coup by Perez and Red Bull. Starting on the second row in Monaco is a real handicap, especially when there are two Ferraris on the front row.

But Red Bull's strategy worked perfectly."

Spain

"Marca":

"Pérez gets an impossible win in Monaco.

Getting to the top from third place in the Principality is not the order of the day, but Pérez deservedly did it.”

"El País":

"The bad luck that follows the Monegasque (Leclerc) seems to be the work of black magic (...) The chaos prevailing in Monte Carlo due to the bad weather confused Ferrari, clouded the view of its strategists and for that made Leclerc even angrier than he was at the Barcelona circuit last week.”

Italy

"Tuttosport":

"Ferrari, no more disgrace!

Leclerc dominates the race, but the team's mistakes put a spanner in the works.

Ferrari gives victory to Red Bull.”

"Corriere della Sera":

"Chaos and uncertainty reign at Ferrari, so you can easily lose a world championship.

A competitive car is not enough, you have to be able to use it.

Leclerc reacts angrily to the blatant mistakes that are unworthy of a team like Ferrari."

"La Repubblica":

"There are no words to describe Ferrari's defeat in Monte Carlo.

Despite a perfect car and a perfect driver, Ferrari is sinking into mediocrity.”

"Gazzetta dello Sport":

"Nightmare in Monaco.

Ferrari is shipwrecked, Leclerc protests.

The conditions for a historic victory in Monte Carlo were in place, but rain and blatant mistakes by the team made Sunday an enchanted day!"

"Corriere dello Sport":

"Leclerc, who put his opponents under a lot of pressure with his performances, is the clear loser from the race in his home country.

He's had a lot more than one bad day, alarm bells are ringing in his head.”

Netherlands

“De Telegraaf”:

“Last season, the battle between Red Bull and Mercedes also took place off the track.

After the chaotic Monaco Grand Prix, Ferrari also showed its streetfighter side, after the Scuderia had previously given up the race itself.

But Red Bull had the coolest head.”

"AD":

"Red Bull vs. Mercedes 2021 was incredibly exciting, but the Bulls' knockout game with Ferrari has been predictable for weeks.

The Italians were the fastest on Saturday, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez the smartest on Sunday.”

Austria

"Kurier":

"Winning the Grand Prix in Monaco is one of the greatest dreams of every Formula 1 driver.

For Sergio Pérez, the dream came true.

The Mexican won the third race of his career and definitely the most prestigious ahead of Carlos Sainz Jr. in the Ferrari and Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen, who thus extended his championship lead.”

Switzerland:

"Blick":

"Monaco is experiencing rain and tire chaos. Pérez victory - bulls pulled Ferrari rubber out!

(...) Monte Carlo had seen better shows, even though Pérez, Sainz, Verstappen and pole man Leclerc were all within 2.9 seconds at the finish line.”
