Thank you for listening to the late breaking F1 podcast. Make Harry Ede and me, Ben Hocking as we review the Monaco Grand Prix.

Folks, this is definitely the first time I've done this intro.

I definitely wasn't on the wrong mic beforehand.

You won't have heard it, but everything is going well here at late breaking HQ.

Max Verstappen took race victory.

So despite there being rain in Monaco, it didn't stop Red Bull from taking first place once again.

Fernando Alonzo in second.

And Esteban Ockon claiming third for his and the team's first podium of the season.

Harry, I know that Sam's not here.

He'd usually be giving his anti-monaco stance.

But that was a pretty good race from Monaco.

Are you surprised? Obviously, Monaco is given a good race from Monaco. Are you surprised?

Obviously, Monaco is given a good race.

Stop it.

Yeah, it was.

It was actually a decently race.

And to be fair, it was for Monaco standards of race before the rain.

I thought it was okay.

I mean, drivers were just willing to chuck, chuck moves down the inside wherever there was like a gap. They didn't care. Oh, look, there's a 3% chance this might come off. Exactly. Go ahead and do it. I'm not sure what got into them all today, but yeah, car signs. Lancaster, I think, tried an overtake on every single corner of the track

on Kevin Manxon.

I don't think it was far off. It wasn't limited to corners. I'm sorry. He's probably still trying to overtake him now, even though Boefe ended up retiring. It's given it a good go. Yeah. But yeah, And then obviously the rain came and carnage ensued.

But in typical Monaco fashion, we ended up with rain came and carnage ensued.
