MONACO - Lewis Hamilton won the Monaco Grand Prix for Mercedes on Sunday, nursing his car’s worn tires to the finish in a nail-biting victory worthy of the team’s late great Niki Lauda.
Max Verstappen crossed the finish line second for Red Bull but dropped to fourth due to a five-second penalty imposed for an earlier unsafe release and collision with Bottas in the pitlane. The five-times world champion, now leading Bottas by 17 points, and Verstappen finished under investigation after they banged wheels into the chicane following the tunnel exit two laps from the end.
The miracle, with Hamilton wearing a red helmet with Lauda’s name and colors while the car carried a variety of tributes, duly happened as if by the late champion’s celestial command. The Monegasque, starting 16th, was up to 12th by the end of lap seven after overtaking McLaren’s Lando Norris and Haas’s Romain Grosjean at the hairpin and Rascasse.
