Ferrari shocked Red Bull with Monaco protest

Ferrari caught Red Bull by surprise after Sergio Perez recorded a shock win in a rain and crash-marred Monaco GP.

Boss Christian Horner was talking to the media about his Mexican driver's win when he took an urgent phone call from team manager Jonathan Wheatley.

"Ferrari just lodged a protest against Max," the Red Bull chief told the reporters.

His Ferrari counterpart Mattia Binotto explained: "We lodged the protest because we wanted clarification.

"It's not directed at Red Bull itself - we believe that both Red Bull cars have touched the (pit exit) line. This has always been a penalty in the past."

The FIA ultimately sided with Red Bull, compounding the disappointment about Charles Leclerc's championship gap to Max Verstappen . . .
