I feel the most for Max Verstappen. He's not guilty for that unsafe release, that is just the team. He is not even on the podium but has given us so much entertainment.

Possibly one of the toughest wins he's had in F1 but he holds Verstappen off. He had to fight all the way.
Max Verstappen finishes second on track, but that five-second penalty sends him down to fourth.
Sebastian Vettel jumps up to second, Valtteri Bottas inherits third.
The Mercedes one-two run ends, but it is still six wins out of six for the champions.
For the third time, Lewis Hamilton wins the Monaco Grand Prix!

That incident is under investigation with Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen wants one more go. It looks like Hamilton's victory and Verstappen will finish fourth.
Under investigation are both Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen for that coming together.
Mercedes looking like they will be the correct ones.
Final lap.
Engineer: "Good effort there mate."
Verstappen: "Yeah just turns in as I'm trying to overtake."

Lap 77/78
It's at the swimming pool, Hamilton and Verstappen bump wheels. Contact, but seemingly no damage. Hamilton has to skip over the chicane.
Are we going to see a late attack from Sebastian Vettel?

On lap 75/78 even if Verstappen gets past Hamilton, he won't be able to gain enough of a gap to win the grand prix.
Lap 75/78
Another attack from Verstappen, another one fended off. Hamilton four laps from a victory. This is all of his years of experience coming good today. He is truly earning this one, just as Daniel Ricciardo did a year ago here.
Hamilton leads from Verstappen #bbcf1
Jamie Taylor: Hamilton, colliding, and Vettel coming through to win?
Rob Whittle: Surely Lewis only needs to hold on for a few more laps. Max has a 5 second pen coming. How much quicker will max go if he gets past Lewis?
Gordon Creig: Hamilton needs to let MV past on the last lap, then let a 4.9 second gap open up, so he wins but keeps vettel 3rd

Verstappen is only half a second behind, but, sorry for keep repeating myself, he still needs to go ahead and finish five seconds ahead of anyone else if he is to win it.
Lap 73/78
Hamilton, Verstappen, Vettel, Bottas, Gasly, Sainz, Kvyat, Albon, Grosjean, Ricciardo - they are the top 10.
