“Marca”: “Pérez takes an impossible win in Monaco. It’s not the order of the day to come out on top from third place in the Principality, but Pérez did it well and deservedly.”
“El País”: “The misfortune plaguing the Monegasque (Leclerc) seems to be the work of black magic. The chaos at Monte Carlo due to the bad weather has confused Ferrari, clouded its strategists and left Leclerc even angrier than previous ones week at the Circuit of Barcelona.”
Italy
“La Republica”: “From pole to a disappointing fourth place. The home curse continues with Charles Leclerc.”
“La Gazetta dello Sport”: “‘If you start first and finish fourth, something went wrong.’ Before the pit stops, Charles Leclerc was first, after the pit stops, Charles Leclerc was fourth. The Monaco GP, won by Sergio Perez’s Red Bull, is also the Monaco GP of the Monegasque Ferrari driver’s new big disappointment.”
“Tutosport”: “Ferrari is preparing for a series of technical meetings that will require a thorough analysis of what happened in Monte Carlo. There were mistakes, some avoidable, others attributable to the specifics of the track and the race.”
Austria
“Courier”: “Winning the Monaco Grand Prix is one of the biggest dreams of every Formula 1 driver. For Sergio Pérez, the dream came true. The Mexican won the third race of his career and definitely the most prestigious ahead of Carlos Sainz Jr. in the Ferrari and Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen, who thus extended his championship lead.”
Switzerland
“View”: “Monaco is experiencing rain and tire chaos. Pérez victory – the bulls stripped Ferrari of rubber! Monte Carlo had seen better shows, even though Pérez, Sainz, Verstappen and pole man Leclerc all finished within 2.9 seconds.”
