Piastri and Sainz comment on the race
Piastri speaking to Sky Sports: 'Tricky race. It's been a great weekend all round. It's nice to have a podium and what better place. Charles has been mega all weekend. It would have taken something pretty special in qualifying. It would have taken probably the best lap of my life. I'm happy with P2.'
Sainz to Sky Sports: 'It was a tight one. A very bad feeling in lap one that quickly turned into a good feeling. From there on the race was good as expected. I'm extremely happy Charles has won his home Grand Prix. It looks like we're getting stronger and stronger every weekend.
Leclerc reflects on his victory
Leclerc speaking to Sky Sports on his victory: 'No words can explain that. It's such a difficult race. It's the race that made me dream of becoming an F1 driver one day. Already 15 laps to the end you are just hoping nothing happens. I was thinking of my Dad, he's given everything for me to be here.'
Carlos Sainz looks forward to Monaco Grand Prix
Carlos Sainz to Sky Sports: 'Since you're a kid you always dream to drive a Formula One car around Monaco. It's a very special podium.
'We've all grown up watching this Grand Prix and dreaming of winning it.'
Sainz also commented on his future, saying: 'I'm going to go to the place I feel most valued as a driver. For me the priority is always winning.'
'Any of the top six or seven drivers can win a race right now.'
Verstappen aiming for Monaco glory again
Max Verstappen starts in sixth place today but the world champion will still have hope that he can secure glory in the Monaco Grand Prix, as he did last year.
Today's race is the first time this season that Verstappen hasn't started on pole. He has managed to win five of the seven races so far.
An important race for Leclerc
This is an especially important race for Charles Leclerc in his home town. Having secured pole position, Leclerc will be determined to see off the fierce competition and prevail.
Leclerc has never previously finished on the podium at Monaco but he will be looking to change that.
