2022 Monaco Grand Prix interactive data: lap charts, times and tyres

In the Monaco Grand Prix the crucial question for drivers on a soaked but drying track was not just when to get rid of the wet weather tyres they all had to start on, but what to change to.

In the end the field was split roughly in half between those who gambled on intermediate tyres and those who hung on until the track was dry enough to jump directly to slicks.

Charles Leclerc said fitting intermediates was the first of two mistakes which cost him victory. But Sergio Perez used that very strategy to win the race.

What particularly hurt Leclerc was the time he lost after his first pit stop, behind a lapped Alexander Albon who was reluctant to get out of the way, and the further delay when he pitted again on the same lap as his team mate, and had to queue behind him.

For Carlos Sainz Jnr, that was the only tyre change he made all race. Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo used the same strategy. Yuki Tsunoda, conversely, was the only driver to use all five types of tyre available in the race.

Eight drivers changed tyres during the mid-race stoppage due to Mick Schumacher’s crash. Among them were the two Red Bull drivers, who opted for mediums, but found their tyres faded towards the end of the race and came under pressure from the Ferrari drivers who stuck with their hard rubber.

Fernando Alonso also switched to mediums and went to extremes to protect them, lapping in the order of three seconds off the pace. He did this while ensuring Lewis Hamilton behind had no opportunity to overtake him, which he described as “extremely easy” due to the narrowness of the circuit.

That was also why the race saw next to no passes as usual. There were a few exceptions in the wet potion of the race, however, notably from Pierre Gasly.

The great Alonso go-slow also left Lando Norris ample time to pit and resume ahead of the Alpine, set the fastest lap and close onto George Russell’s tail by the time the shortened race ended after 64 of a scheduled 78 laps.
