Red Bull Racing were able to score a double victory at the Monaco Grand Prix. Not only did Max Verstappen win the race and take over the lead in both world championships from Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes respectively, but Red Bull also recorded the fastest pit stop.

Verstappen's pit stop was the fastest with a 2.02 seconds. There wasn't much pressure on the Austrian team's mechanics as the lead over number two Carlos Sainz was around seven seconds. It didn't stop the Red Bull pit crew from giving it their all though.

Red Bull extends its lead in the standings again. Closest pursuers Mercedes and Williams scored fewer points in Monte Carlo. Lewis Hamilton's pit stop was relatively quick, at 2.25 seconds (the second fastest time of the day), but it couldn't prevent the seven-time world champion from passing drivers such as Sebastian Vettel and Sergio Perez.
