Double points score for Renault Sport Formula One Team in Monaco Grand Prix

Nico Hulkenberg crossed the line in eighth position after a hard charge from 11^th on the grid. Carlos Sainz came home in 10^th, giving the team a strong points haul and consolidating fourth position in the Constructors' Championship.

Nico used a creative strategy to run long on the Ultrasoft tyres to gain track position. By his first stop he was a superb sixth, and rejoined still inside the top 10. Taking full advantage of fresh tyres, he put in a series of quick laps to move into eighth. The German finished under half a second from P7.

Starting in P8 and on his qualifying tyres, Carlos ran a different strategy. He ran strongly in the first part of the race but lost out to Max Verstappen and Nico in the latter stages as they passed on newer tyres. Renault Sport Formula One Team moves six points clear of McLaren in the championship standings.
