Verstappen wins Monaco GP to extend F1 championship lead

The Formula 1 paddock heads to Barcelona next for the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend.

Max Verstappen continued his red-hot form in Monaco, sealing a brilliant pole position before cruising to another victory on Sunday. His Red Bull team-mate, Sergio Perez, had a disastrous, point-less weekend though - the gap between the top-two in the championship is now 39 points.

Fernando Alonso came second in Monaco and will be eyeing a dream 33rd F1 victory - and his first for 10 years - at his home race. The Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will be eyeing an improved weekend too in their revamped Mercedes cars.

Verstappen won last year’s race in Spain, leading home a Red Bull one-two, with Russell also on the podium after race leader Charles Leclerc was forced to retire due to an engine issue. Here is everything you need to know.
