Vettel wins Monaco GP ahead of Ferrari teammate Raikkonen
MONACO — Sebastian Vettel beat his Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen to win the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday and comfortably extend his lead at the top of the standings to 25 points.
It was the four-time F1 champion’s third win of the season and 45th of his career, as well as Ferrari’s first in Monaco since Michael Schumacher — Vettel’s childhood idol — in 2001.
“Unbelievable. It was a very tense race,” Vettel said. “It’s very, very special to win here. We’re going to have a very fun night.”
Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo finished third, ahead of Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas.
