    Daniel Ricciardo drove a masterful race to fend off Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari and win the Monaco Grand Prix in a stricken Red Bull.

    The Australian dominated the weekend and led from pole but shortly after his only pit stop suffered a power loss at one-third distance.

    Ricciardo managed to hold off Vettel for the remaining 50 laps, as Lewis Hamilton took third in his Mercedes.

    The result means Hamilton leads Vettel by 14 points in the championship.

    Ricciardo moves into third place, 38 points adrift.

  3. 'For a few seconds I wanted to close my eyes and start crying'published at 17:14 British Summer Time 27 May 2018

    Race winner Daniel Ricciardo: "I thought my race was over when I went down on power. I had half the power it seemed and I felt like it was going to come to a stop.

    "For a few seconds I just wanted to close my eyes and start crying. I was only using six gears, our car has eight. I had just enough power to get into sixth. We did it, but it sucked.

    "This was redemption, it's been two years in the making. I still don't know how we did it but we did. Now get me a drink."

  4. 'I was never a threat to him'published at 17:13 British Summer Time 27 May 2018

    Sebastian Vettel, who finished second: "I could see the light flashing on Ricciardo's car, which meant he was clipping. I tried to get close but getting too close doesn't help the tyres.

    "He was quicker than us, he was able to open a gap and I was never really a threat to him."

  5. 'I'd have been asleep on the couch for that race'published at 17:09 British Summer Time 27 May 2018

    Third-placed Lewis Hamilton, speaking to Channel 4: "A big congratulations to Daniel, I'm really happy for him because winning your first race in Monaco is really special.

    "The tyres were not great but we were all driving so slow. I was thinking while I was driving it was not an attacking race, we were just cruising. I will be shocked if anyone was awake at home while it was on, because I would have been asleep on the couch."

  6. Aussie success in Monacopublished at 17:05 British Summer Time 27 May 2018

    Ricciardo's victory makes him just the third Australian to win the Monaco Grand Prix, after Mark Webber (2010, 2012) and Jack Brabham (1959, pictured)

  7. 'We keep working on our strengths'published at 17:04 British Summer Time 27 May 2018

    Fernando Alonso, who retired: "We'd secured seventh place already after the pit stops, we lost a little bit of points today but nothing we can do now. We keep working on our strengths."

  8. 'A shame at my home race'published at 17:03 British Summer Time 27 May 2018

    Charles Leclerc, who retired from the race after losing his brakes: "I had no brakes, it is just a shame because it happens at (my) home (race) but there were a lot of positives to take from this weekend and forget the negatives."

    Valtteri Bottas, who started and finished fifth: "In Monaco many things can happen, if nothing happens it can be really boring, like today.

    "Supersofts felt like the right tyre, but nothing I could do really."

  13. 'Great pace'published at 16:53 British Summer Time 27 May 2018

    Force India's Esteban Ocon, who finished sixth, speaking to Channel 4 says: "It was a fantastic result I have to say, great weekend overall.

    "Great pace with the car. When your engineer is telling you you are quickest on the track, it is probably the first time it happened this season! Fantastic, I look forward to many more weekends like that."

  14. How they stand - bottom 10published at 16:48 British Summer Time 27 May 2018

    The big jumper in the bottom 10 is Esteban Ocon. He started the day 17th in the championship but the eight points he gets for his sixth-placed finish takes him up to 13th.

    Sergey Sirotkin and Romain Grosjean remain the two without any points on the board. Both may well be getting very nervous on their F1 futures.
