Max Verstappen won a rain affect Monaco Grand Prix as the elements intervened with 25 laps to go in the Principality.
The Red Bull driver held off Fernando Alonso, who was playing the long game around the streets on his hard tyre. The arrival of rain freed the Dutchman as his tyres began to wear away and he was able to lead the pack home to extend his lead at the top of the championship.
Before the heavens opened the race looked like it was set to ignite with Verstappen's medium tyre running out of rubber, which may have played into Alonso's hands with the Spaniard looking to go long and produce hit pace in the final stint.
