Overall the race itself was a good race to watch, despite limited overtaking. Current Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton was on pole for Sunday's race. Hamilton controlled the race throughout lead all of the 78 laps despite using the medium tyre for 68 laps while his rivals opted for the harder tyres. Despite a late charge from Max Verstappen it was Lewis Hamilton to win this seasons Monaco Grand Prix for Lewis Hamilton's fourth race win of the season. While Hamilton dedicated the win to the former Mercedes non-executive chairman and three time Formula 1 world champion Niki Lauda who past away last week.
