Scott Mitchell-Malm and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to review a dramatic Monaco Grand Prix that was enlivened by rain and Max Verstappen's most hard-fought win of the season.
It was a weekend of contrasts for Red Bull as Max Verstappen's pace in qualifying was stunning, whilst his team-mate Sergio Perez failed to live up to the RB19's potential after crashing on Saturday and having a miserable time on Sunday.
Also discussed are Mercedes' new upgrade package, how much Red Bull and Mercedes gave away when their car's underfloor was shown to the world and if Lance Stroll will still have a seat at Aston Martin if his recent lack of performance continues?
