So what went wrong for Ferrari on race day?

Well, Charles Leclerc lead the team in pole position at his home race and looked sure to claim the victory.

The wet conditions meant drivers started the race on the appropriate tires and change them when the track dried.

However, Ferrari called Sainz in early for the change. Confusion on the team radio then saw race-leading Leclerc also pull into the pits.

This meant both Ferrari drivers were in the pits at once, handing their lead over to Red Bull.

This is a big no-no in Formula One and is seen as a strategic blunder that cost Ferrari the race.

Monaco’s course is known to have little room for error and minimum opportunity to overtake, which makes these team decisions critical.

Leclerc finished fourth place overall and was extremely furious at the team’s mistake.
