While Max Verstappen was able to celebrate another victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, it was a frustrating afternoon for Checo Perez as he started at the back of the grid and could only progress to 16th.

The Monte-Carlo street circuit is notoriously difficult to overtake on and Perez really struggled behind slower cars, especially as many stayed out for longer than expected before pitting.

Mercedes has confirmed that it will debut its massive upgrade package in Monaco, next weekend, while Ferrari is not at all clear that it is the place to introduce the new suspension that was planned for Imola and could wait for the F1 Spanish GP, a week later.
