1 Alex Albon. Getting some points for Williams. Make those at Stake/Sauber very uncomfortable

Hm Charles Leclerc. Beat his home race curse

Hm Sergio Perez. Walking away from that wreck of a red bull

Gasly and Albon for sure. Honorable mention to Kev for avoiding a penalty for that Bathpluggery, didn’t think he’d escape that.
It's just unbelievable...that Formula 1 could be such a ridiculous melange of idiots.

Albon: He and Williams are off the mark for 2024 and again on a low speed circuit when their strength is usually the power tracks

Gasly: Survived his team-mate’s attack on turn 1 and brought home a point for the team meaning he too is off the mark for 2024

HM: Russell: I thought Mercedes shafted him by not pitting him a second time but he used Monaco’s walls to hold on for 5th. Incredibly that equals Mercedes’s best Grand Prix result of the season

1) Alex Albon: Points for Williams!

2) Charles Leclerc: Given that he's in one of the top teams and has shown a lot of pace over the years, albeit more in qualifying than the races, this shouldn't be improbable, but given how many times he's had to give up the top spot here, it's a feel-good result.

Honourable Mentions: Pierre Gasly, George Russell.

1. Bottas. One of the few who made actual overtake in the race
2. Leclerc's curse being broken.

(1) Albon - for reasons stated above

(2) Russell for trusting the strategy and coming in 5th behind only the 2nd and 3rd fastest teams and ahead of the fastest driver on the grid

Alexander Albon: Points for Williams, may have ensured the team finishing ahead of Sauber (in fact, they're also ahead of Alpine now).

Honorable mention to Charles Leclerc for being the first Monégasque driver to win at home!

I'm going to go for Albon - 2 vital points for Williams at not their sort of circuit.

HMs go to Leclerc for finally lifting his home curse, Russell for making a set of mediums last 76 laps, and Gasly for surviving his teammate mauling him to grab a rare point.

Yuki was good but in all truth if Aston Martin have an off-day then you're kind of expecting him to be best of the rest behind Red Bull/Ferrari/McLaren/Mercedes.

Albon for the 2 points, Russell for somehow managing to set lap times with 76-lap-old mediums that were just one second slower than Verstappen's with fresh tyres.

1) Albon - Williams' first points of 2024 and leaping ahead of Alpine on countback in one go.

2) Gasly - First point of 2024 after surviving an idiotic attempt at an overtake from his team-mate.

Albon, from a Williams fanboy.

Gasly.

EDIT: Oh and I want to add Prince Albert for joining in the champagne celebrations.

EDIT 2: And Ferrari, look to McLaren on how to do one-off special liveries properly!
