Max Verstappen's Monaco GP win was a triumph of performance, tyre management and strategy — a stark contrast to Ayrton Senna's experience 35 years earlier, writes Mark Hughes: "There was a time when the driver could largely do whatever the hell he wanted"
Max Verstappen delivered an almost flawless victory in challenging circumstances at Monaco last Sunday. His challenge was to get the medium compound tyres on which he started to last long enough that he wouldn't have to make a pitstop until the rain had arrived. Verstappen had to conserve the tyres while also pulling out a gap on Alonso of around 10sec.
It was a complex and conflicting set of demands but of course he was guided into how to do it by the strategists and his race engineer.
