Monaco Grand Prix winner Max Verstappen takes Formula One lead from Lewis Hamilton

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz finished second after team mate Charles Leclerc, who had secured pole position after crashing in qualifying, was ruled out before the start with a driveshaft problem. 

Red Bull's Max Verstappen won Formula One's showcase Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday to lead the world championship for the first time in his career. The 23-year-old Dutch driver started the day 14 points behind Mercedes' seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton and ended it four clear. Hamilton finished seventh, with an extra point for the fastest lap. "It's so special around here to win and, also for me, the first time on the podium here. An amazing race," said Verstappen, who had everything under control from start to finish. "You always want to win this grand prix. I remember when I was very little, already watching this grand prix, so standing here I'm very proud."  Max leads the championship #MonacoGP  #F1 pic.twitter.com/ftBPBZjxgK
