Monaco gave us another magical weekend as drivers pushed to the limits in some of the most picturesque surroundings on the F1 calendar. But while the on-track battle developed, here’s a look at some of the social media highlights you may have missed...
Verstappen turns Monaco orange
As is tradition in Monaco, a host of dedicated marshals lined the start/finish straight at the end of Sunday’s race, but winner Verstappen seemed to embrace the chance to celebrate with his country’s trademark orange colour after chalking up a fourth victory from six races so far this season.
