BEFORE THE RACE

  • Key teams and drivers: The 2008 season featured an intense battle between McLaren, with Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen, and Ferrari, led by reigning champion Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa. BMW Sauber, with Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld, emerged as a rising force capable of challenging for top positions. Renault, with Fernando Alonso, was striving to remain competitive despite a challenging start to the season.
  • Standings before Monaco: Heading into the Monaco Grand Prix, the championship standings were tight, with Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen, and Felipe Massa all vying for the lead in the drivers’ championship. Ferrari and McLaren were also locked in a fierce battle for dominance in the constructors’ standings, with BMW Sauber closely trailing the leaders.

 

DURING THE RACE

  • Weather: The race began under light rain, making the track extremely slippery and challenging for the drivers. Teams opted for intermediate tires, a critical decision on Monaco’s narrow and winding streets.
  • Starting grid: Felipe Massa secured pole position for Ferrari, with teammate Kimi Räikkönen alongside him, achieving a Ferrari front-row lockout. Lewis Hamilton qualified third, while Robert Kubica started fourth, well-positioned to capitalize on the unpredictable conditions.
  • Key moments: The race was characterized by numerous incidents caused by the wet conditions. On lap six, Lewis Hamilton hit the wall, damaging his right rear tire. However, this incident turned into a strategic advantage, as he was forced to pit early and change tires. As the track dried, this timing allowed him to gain an edge when other drivers later pitted for fresh tires. Felipe Massa dominated the early stages of the race but lost ground due to pit stops and the evolving track conditions. Kimi Räikkönen, after a strong start, was handed a penalty for changing his tires after the signal for the race start, pushing him down the order. Hamilton maintained composure under pressure from Robert Kubica and Massa, ultimately taking a memorable victory.

AFTER THE RACE

  • Podium: Lewis Hamilton claimed victory for McLaren, followed by Robert Kubica (BMW Sauber) in second place, and Felipe Massa (Ferrari) in third. This iconic win at Monaco marked a pivotal moment in Hamilton’s pursuit of the world championship.
  • Standings after the race: With this victory, Hamilton moved to the top of the drivers’ championship, while McLaren closed the gap to Ferrari in the constructors’ standings. The Monaco Grand Prix solidified Hamilton’s status as a strong contender in an exceptionally competitive season.
