Red Bull's Max Verstappen has won the Monaco Grand Prix for the first time to take the Formula One championship lead from Lewis Hamilton.
His teammate Valtteri Bottas went from second place to out of the race before the midway point after his team botched a tire change. It is the first time since the German Grand Prix in 2018 that Mercedes has not led the championship.
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr. finished second, while McLaren, L. Norris came in a disappointing third place.
Verstappen’s second win this season and 12th of his career moved the Red Bull driver four points ahead of Hamilton overall. The seven-time world champion finished seventh on a bad day for the usually ultra-reliable Mercedes team.
