MONACO (AP) — Red Bull driver Sergio Perez held on to win Sunday’s rain-marred and chaotic Monaco Grand Prix. A calamitous Ferrari call cost Charles Leclerc a shot at winning his home race and also allowed world champion Max Verstappen to extend his overall lead. Leclerc finished fourth behind Verstappen’s Red Bull in third and Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. in second place. Verstappen moved nine points ahead of Leclerc in the standings. It it was even sweeter for Perez, who clinched his first victory of the season one week after a frustrating Red Bull team order gave Verstappen an easy victory in Spain.
