Mario Isola, Motorsport Director, Pirelli:

First and foremost, congratulations to Charles Leclerc and Scuderia Ferrari on their win. We can only begin to imagine what it means to Charles to have triumphed on the streets of the city where he grew up!

On the tyre front, the Monaco race doesn’t usually present many options, and today, even those few possibilities were practically wiped out by the red flag on the opening lap. As explained previously, the race being stopped meant that a pit stop was no longer required. We knew that both the Hard and the Medium could go the total distance if appropriately managed, and that’s what almost all the drivers did. Groups were formed according to what compound they were running. Within these groups, some cat-and-mouse games were aimed at getting other drivers to make mistakes, but this never really created any overtaking opportunities or chances to change strategies to mix things up. Those who did pit did so “for free,” in other words, without losing track of position. They could then push ahead with a clear track for a little while, lapping as much as whole seconds quicker than those managing their tyres. But then, once back in traffic, they had to settle for having a close view of the car in front. This explains why the top ten places never changed from the first to the last lap.

The day on the track:

For a start, the drivers were split almost equally between the nine who had opted to run the first stint on the Medium, namely Leclerc, Sainz, Norris, Piastri, Albon, Ricciardo, Tsunoda, Zhou and Hulkenberg and the remaining eleven who went with the Hard, those being Perez, Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton, Stroll, Alonso, Ocon, Gasly, Sargeant, Bottas and Magnussen. However, the red flag on the opening lap following a collision between Perez and Haas drivers meant that all remaining drivers were absolved of the need to make a pit stop to use two different compounds. Ocon was also unable to take the restart after colliding with his team-mate. This meant that those who had started on the C3 switched to the C4 and vice versa, and all of them could get to the chequered flag without stopping.

The only exception was Sargeant, who kept the same set of Hards that he had used for the first start. There were some pit stops, but these only occurred when windows opened in the traffic so they could be completed without losing track position. Those who took advantage of this scenario were, in order, Bottas, Stroll, Hamilton, Verstappen and Sargeant, who went from Medium to Hard and Zhou, who switched from Hard to Soft. The only driver to make two stops was Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll, but only because he sustained a puncture after hitting the barrier.

What’s next?

After two races in Europe, Formula 1 crosses the Pond once more for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, in the province of Quebec, from 7 to 9 June. It’s been a historic fixture on the Formula 1 calendar since 1967.

Before heading for Canada, Pirelli has two days of testing planned this coming Tuesday and Wednesday at Le Castellet’s Paul Ricard circuit in France. This time, Scuderia Ferrari is the team involved, with race drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz sharing driving duties. New compounds and construction for both slick and wet weather tyres will be tested.

2024 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix Race Results

2024 Constructor Standings

Here are the team-by-team highlights:

Max Verstappen earned a sixth position at the 2024 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix following the early crash that saw Oracle Red Bull Racing teammate Sergio Pérez escape from his car unharmed.

The result leaves Verstappen 31 points ahead of winner Charles Leclerc in the 2024 drivers’ title race, and Oracle Red Bull Racing now just holds a 24-point lead over Ferrari in the constructors’ race.

Max Verstappen, Driver, Red Bull Racing

Of course, the most important thing is that Checo was okay following his crash. There was a lot of damage to his car, which was very unfortunate, but luckily he was fine. The red flag ultimately meant that our strategy was ruined, so everyone was just managing tyres until the end of the race, and the pit stop did not change much either. We had to really slow down a lot to make it to the end of the race, and I tried to pass George for two laps, but it was extremely difficult. The ride of the car was still not great today, and we just didn’t have the pace in qualifying. It ended up being a very boring race for us, and not much we could do. It’s been a bad weekend for us, but the positive is that we know what the weakness is in the car, and if we can improve this, we should get back a lot of lap time. A season like last year doesn’t happen often, and we are realistic; we stay very strong as a team, don’t overreact, analyse the race and go from there.

Sergio Pérez, Driver, Red Bull Racing:

At the start, I lost a position to one of the Haas cars, and I was coming out of turn one; I couldn’t see Kevin in my mirrors; you can see that from my onboard, and then the crash happened. I think the move was unnecessary; we sustained a lot of damage, and it was a very dangerous incident. I was disappointed it didn’t get investigated; it was an immense crash, and my car was completely destroyed. I think it was totally unnecessary at that point of the race, and where we were starting on the grid, we should have been starting in a better grid position today to avoid this. My team and I are sorry for it, but there was no need for that. It caused a lot of damage to my car, and I am okay after the accident; I just got a small graze on my elbow. Safety in F1 has come a very long way, and for that, I am grateful. It has been a bad weekend for all of us, and the whole thing is frustrating, but I trust my Team with my car ahead of Canada, and I hope we come back very strong.

CHRISTIAN HORNER, CEO and Team Principal

I would say it was a difficult weekend and Monaco is always dictated by qualifying performance, so we faced many challenges going into today. A big congratulations to Charles on his home win, but for us, our car never performed at its best here, and we need to understand the issues we had with the bumps and kerbs. Very disappointed by the crash on lap one, and I think Magnussen should have given more space. Not only did he damage his car, he also took out our car, but thankfully Checo stepped away from it unhurt, which is the most important thing. We have a lot of data to analyse from this weekend, and we’ll be looking at everything hard over the next couple of weeks before Canada.

Charles Leclerc has finally shaken off his Monaco taboo, winning his home race at his sixth attempt. It was an extremely tactical race, which the team executed perfectly, with Charles leading from start to finish. Completing a memorable day, as Scuderia Ferrari HP took its tenth win on the streets of the Principality, was third place for Carlos Sainz, which now puts the team 24 points behind Red Bull, the leaders in the Constructors’ classification. Charles has also closed the gap to Drivers’ leader Max Verstappen to 31 points. He is the 37th driver to win on the streets of Monaco. He is also the first Monegasque to do so since the start of the Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championship in 1950, although Louis Chiron, also a Monegasque, won here 93 years ago, well before the creation of the World Championship. Leclerc is also the seventh Ferrari driver to win here.

First start. Today’s race was even more tactical than usual because of the red flag on the opening lap. Charles and Carlos lined up on Medium tyres and the Spaniard got away well enough to come alongside Oscar Piastri at the first corner. However, they touched, and Sainz ended up with a puncture that dropped him down the order. At the same time, there was a huge crash in the midfield, fortunately without injury, involving the Haas of Nico Hulkenberg, Kevin Magnussen and Sergio Perez in the Red Bull. With the track blocked, the race was red flagged and because that happened before the end of the opening lap, it meant that Sainz was able to restart from his original grid position. It also meant that there would be no need for the obligatory pit stop if drivers took the second start on a different compound from the first one. Thus the team put both drivers on the Hard tyre with the aim of then going all the way to the chequered flag.

Second start. There were no surprises at the restart, with Charles leading from Piastri, Carlos and Lando Norris in the other McLaren. From then on, it was a race without the need for pit stops, with Charles and Carlos looking after their tyres and preventing Norris, at the back of this group running Hard tyres, from building up enough of a lead over the fifth-placed driver that he would be able to make a pit stop without losing track position. Charles and Carlos were, therefore, constantly given target times to hit, and the race became a long countdown without any surprises all the way to the flag, with Leclerc the winner and Sainz third. After the race, the team rushed to hug the drivers near the podium to the accompaniment of the klaxons from the yachts in the harbour. The party is likely to go on all night in Monaco!

Carlos Sainz #55

It was a very tactical race. I had a perfect first start off the line, to the point that I was side by side with Oscar (Piastri) into turn one, and I went for the inside gap. We touched, I got a puncture, and I thought that was it. Fortunately for me, the big accident behind meant I could restart from P3, and thankfully, everyone was OK. We had new Hard tyres for the restart, and it was just a matter of managing the pace until the end and ensuring Lando didn’t have a window to pit. Once this was achieved, I tried to overtake Oscar during the last laps, but it simply needs to be easier if you use the same strategy as the car ahead. I’m very happy for Charles! Winning your home race is something every driver dreams of, and it was good to celebrate with him on the podium!

Charles Leclerc #16

I can’t explain how I feel. The race seemed to continue forever, but maybe that made it even nicer. Winning here means so much to me because it’s the race that made me dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver when I was little. So, I want to thank the people of Monaco; on the lap of honour, I saw so many people on the balconies, and I thank all of them for their incredible support. Over the last few laps, it was difficult because you start to pray nothing’s going to happen, and I could feel the emotion growing in me, and I realised I was almost losing concentration on my driving. I was thinking a lot about my father and everything he did to ensure that I was here today, and I was also thinking of Jules. Winning this race was a dream we all had, and I dedicate the win to them. We had to do a lot of tyre management and manage the gap to George (Russell) to make sure the McLarens couldn’t get a free pit stop, so mentally, it was pretty draining. I must thank the team for doing an exceptional job over the past few months and helping me win this race. I can’t wait to celebrate with them and the rest of the team as soon as I get to Maranello.

Frédéric Vasseur – Team Principal

It was the perfect weekend and one to remember for Charles, having had a couple of tough races here in Monaco. He was flying from lap 1 in FP1 and did the perfect job. The race itself was strange because, after the red flag, we had to manage 77 laps on the same set of tyres. He was always in control of the situation, and a couple of times, he asked us if he could push more, but we couldn’t give him the green light. Carlos also drove an excellent race and played an essential part in this win, helping us control the gaps behind them and doing a fantastic job for the team. We are all pushing very hard; the whole team has a perfect dynamic, with everyone working in the right direction. We mustn’t get carried away; we must stay focused, but this win is a huge motivation for everyone at the track and factory, where everyone has done a great job. This was an exceptional day; you could see the emotions of all the team members around the podium. Now, we must think about doing a good job again, even better in Canada.

George Russell finished P5 with Lewis Hamilton P7 at the 2024 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix. Lining up P5 and P7, respectively, the team opted for an alternative strategy with both drivers starting on the Hard compound tyre. The four drivers ahead of George all started on the medium tyre, with Verstappen between our duo and the hard compound.

The team opted to switch George and Lewis to the Medium tyres under that red flag, too, with George managing well to take them 77 laps to the end of the race. With the opportunity of a free pit stop, Lewis switched to a second set of Hard tyres on Lap 51 and utilised them to claim the fastest lap point. George came under pressure in the closing stages from Max Verstappen and on new hard tyres but resisted well in taking P5 with Lewis P7.

George Russell

That was the best race of our season so far. We had a good pace and were able to show that near the end despite being on 70-lap old Medium tyres. We were closing on the top four at the end and only finished a handful of seconds off P1. There are plenty of positives to take from the weekend as a whole.

We spent a lot of time this morning going through all the strategy options. When we lined up on the grid, and everyone ahead was on the Medium compound, I was very happy. That looked even better when Carlos (Sainz) stopped on the opening lap. The red flag came out, though, and made our lives more difficult! I spent the first 30 laps taking it easy, and in the end, I was able to keep the tyres in a good place and get to the end. Max (Verstappen) put me under a bit of pressure at the end, but it was all pretty controlled.

Lewis Hamilton

There have been plenty of encouraging signs from our performance this weekend. The team has worked so hard to update the car, and we’ve got more to come across in the next few races. We have taken a step forward with the car, and if we can continue to make a few more, then we can hopefully get ourselves into the fight with the three teams ahead of us.

The race today was non-eventful. Everyone managed their pace after the red flag, and ultimately, whatever tyre you were on, you could make it to the end. That took away our options for making forward progress, which was frustrating. I’m looking forward to going to Canada and seeing what we can do there.

Toto Wolff, Team Principal & CEO

Overall, we’ve had a positive weekend. We were much closer than we have been in Qualifying so far this year and showed a good pace throughout the race. That was despite the first lap red flag, which took away many of our strategy options. We opted to switch to the Medium compound tyres under that red flag, and both George and Lewis did a good job of managing them throughout. Lewis didn’t need to make a stop, but we were able to box him and secure the point for the fastest lap.

The trajectory is going in the right direction. We’ve understood where we need to improve the balance car, and we’re bringing updates to enhance that. We know there will be ups and downs depending on the circuits we go to, but overall, I am happy with the development direction. Let’s see how we perform in Canada.

Andrew Shovlin, Trackside Engineering Director

We opted for an alternative strategy by starting both cars on the Hard tyre. There were pros and cons to this; a red flag or Safety Car intervention after the front four had stopped would have provided an opportunity to get both cars on the podium. However, a lap one red flag would prove awkward. This is exactly what befell us as the race got underway.

We were, therefore, in a situation where we had to try and get to the end on the Medium tyre. Most cars were doing a fair bit of management, so this was relatively easy to handle in the end. George seemed to have a good pace in the closing stages and was able to defend well against Max, and it was encouraging to see the improvements we made in our long run since Friday. The stop with Lewis towards the end wasn’t necessary from a tyre point of view, but it did give us an opportunity to take an extra point for the fastest lap.

Overall, the weekend was another indication that we are moving in the right direction. We were just 25 milliseconds off P3 in Qualifying, which is an annoying margin to miss out on a likely podium. That said, a few weeks ago, we couldn’t even talk about podiums. We’ll have both cars on the latest updates in Montreal with a few additional bits on top. We’ll keep working hard, and hopefully, better results are not far away.

Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Team Principal Andrea Stella after the 2024 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.

It’s a tense start to the race, with a crash on Lap 1 bringing out a Red Flag. Oscar also picked up some damage on Lap 1, but the team took care of it as best they could during the Red Flag delay. Oscar (P2) and Lando (P4) swap onto the Hards under the Red Flag to go to the end of the race. Leclerc (P1) and Sainz (P3) both do the same. There is a standing restart once the track is cleared, which is incident-free, and both McLaren’s hold their position. Russell drops back from Lando, which may open up a window for a pit stop. None of the top four end up making a pit stop. Oscar crosses the line in P2, his season’s first podium, with Lando in P4.

Lando Norris

A good team result. A lot of points on the board, which is exactly what we wanted. But as we expected, there were no opportunities to move forward, especially after the Red Flag at the beginning. It was unlucky that we got put down to fourth again after the first start; that would have been lovely! But there wasn’t a lot we could do on a day like today. We stayed in there, got good points for the team, and that’s the main thing.

Oscar Piastri

That was a tricky race. The pace at the beginning was incredibly slow. I had half a look before the tunnel but didn’t have a car small enough to fit through the gap. Thanks to the whole team who have worked so hard. It’s been a great weekend all around, and what better place to get a result like that than Monaco? It’s special to achieve a podium in Senna’s colours, too, given his incredible record around these streets.

Andrea Stella

Hats off to Ferrari and Charles Leclerc, they’ve been quick all weekend and deserved the victory. For us, well done to the entire team for delivering a fast car and to the trackside team for always being on the ball and managing some intense operational moments this weekend – from clearing Lando’s car of debris during Qualifying to dealing with a difficult Red Flag situation today. It’s an important result here in Monaco, with Oscar scoring an impressive podium and Lando right behind on a circuit that we weren’t certain would suit our car. It’s a lot of points – but also evidence that we can be regular contenders for the podium. We look at the coming races with optimism.

Fernando finished just outside the points in P11, concluding the 2024 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, while Lance finished the race in P14.

Lance began the Monaco Grand Prix in P13, while Fernando started P14 after penalties from other drivers promoted them to higher starting positions. Lance made up a place on the opening lap before a red flag put an early pause to the race. Both drivers changed their tyres under the red flag, opting to restart on Mediums. Later in the race, Fernando was behind Lance and worked on building a gap, allowing Lance to pit at the end of Lap 42 without losing any positions. After a puncture on Lap 49, Lance made it to the pits for a set of Softs. He then made a series of overtakes towards the end of the race to finish P14. Fernando managed his Medium tyres well and completed the race without pitting.

Fernando Alonso

We were a little bit unlucky at the beginning of the race. We chose the Hard tyre to start the race, aiming to go very long in the first stint. With the red flag, everyone changed tyres. We did the same but had to fit the Medium and go to the end, which was tortuous. It was very difficult to keep the tyres alive.

At one point, we thought we’d try a different strategy with Lance—a pit stop to attack Gasly. We were out of the points with nothing to lose. It didn’t work, but generally, it was a disappointing weekend. We need to get better for Canada.

Lance Stroll

I think we always expected the race to be about managing the tyres, so that was no surprise, especially after the restart. You need a big delta to overtake here, so we did what we could with the strategy. I had a gap over Pierre [Gasly] so we pitted for Hard tyres to try and race him in the second half of the grand prix.In the end, it didn’t work out, so we missed out on scoring a point. This weekend was not the easiest and shows we need to find some more pace.

Mike Krack, Team Principal:

After the red flag on the opening lap, there were limited strategy options available today. Starting on the Hard tyres, we switched both cars to the Medium tyres in the hope we could make it to the end of the race. Lance had a gap over Gasly, so we took the opportunity to fit some Hard tyres to compete for the final point. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be. Fernando managed his tyres well, but we finished just outside the top ten.

It’s been another tough day, compromised by qualifying outside of the points-scoring positions on Saturday. Now is the time to regroup as a team, focus on improvements and come back stronger in Canada.

Japanese driver Yuki Tsunoda produced a composed performance to claim eighth place at the 2024 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.

Daniel Ricciardo

After yesterday’s qualifying, I came into today mentally prepared for a race like that. In this case, not qualifying at the front, there’s a highly likely chance that the race here is being dictated by someone else’s pace, and this is how it was. You can always hope that things can change or something can happen in the race, and I think the first start was probably one of the best starts I had this year. But then, after the second start, once I saw Alonso in front of me doing all he could to keep his tyres till the end, I realised soon that it would have been hard. I tried to keep pressure on him, but obviously, he’s very experienced, and Monaco is a track that requires such a big mistake to make possible some overtaking. I had two laps of clean air today, where I could push a little bit more, and it was definitely enjoyable, but for the rest of the race, I had to have a lot of patience. There are certainly some positives to take from this weekend, but at the same time, there’s also some personal disappointment. Looking at the next race, Montréal is a good track that I enjoy, so we’ll try to keep things going better. Charles got his first win here in Monaco today, in the past he’s definitely experienced some highs and lows around this track, so he deserved it and I’m very happy for him.

Yuki Tsunoda

It was a very long race, but I had to respect the strategy that we had planned. I was a little frustrated, but I kept my cool and managed the pace. I think we maximised it; we were managing tyres and pace well, making sure that we were prepared for any situation. I really enjoyed the last few laps because I got told I could push flat out while making sure I wasn’t too greedy and brought the car home. The important thing is that we keep scoring points. As a team, we had a strong race week, so it’s very positive. Well done to the team; very well deserved.

Laurent Mekies – Team Principal

Firstly, congratulations to Charles Leclerc and to Scuderia Ferrari for Charles’ home race win. He has been deserving it for a long time, and he has certainly made a few people happy today! During today’s race, the tension was evident in the many strategic games of cat and mouse throughout the order. Drivers and engineers did an excellent job through the 78 laps in terms of what pace to run to manage the tyres. It was always going to be a tricky Saturday and a tricky Sunday around Monaco, and the team executed very strongly. Yuki is really in great form, once again putting us at the front of the midfield on the grid and then sticking to the strategy to bring home some more very valuable championship points. In what was a completely linear race, with nothing changing after the second start, it was always going to be virtually impossible for Daniel to join his team-mate in the points. We still have some work to do to help him deliver the performances of which we know he is capable, so we are looking forward to getting to Canada, the scene of his very first Grand Prix win 10 years ago. Finally, a big thank you to everyone in Faenza and Bicester. The good string of results we have pocketed in the last few races is the result of their hard work, and it gives us the will to push even harder for the races to come.

MoneyGram Haas F1 Team suffered an early double retirement at the Monaco Grand Prix, Round 8 of the 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, held Sunday at the Circuit de Monaco.

Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal

Williams Racing finished F1’s Jewel in the Crown event in the top 10 and earned its first points of the 2024 season, thanks to Alex Albon’s P9. Much of the hard work came from the incredibly tight Saturday qualifying that saw our No23 reach Q3, but Alex and Logan still had plenty of work to do during Sunday’s Grand Prix.

It proved a memorable Monaco day for Williams Racing, with their first 2024 points following Zak O’Sullivan’s first F2 win and Luke Browning’s podium finish in F3 earlier in the morning.

Alex Albon

Logan Sargeant

Esteban started from P11 on New Hards, DNF. Pierre started from P10 on New Hards, finished P10: Tyre change to New Mediums under red flag conditions on Lap 2. Fastest Lap: 1mins 15.625secs.

Esteban Ocon

I made a mistake today, so I apologise to the entire team for the incident and the retirement. In the end, the team scored points as we set out to do, and that’s the most important thing for our ambitions. There was too much damage sustained to my car to resume the race despite the best efforts of the team during the red flag stop. We will review everything as a team and come back stronger together. We are all pushing to score points. Mistakes do happen, and we move on.

Pierre Gasly

It feels good to score my first point of the season, and the team deserves it, considering how much work they have put in during the last couple of weeks to improve our performance. Monaco is full of opportunities, especially in Qualifying, which we seized by reaching Q3 for the first time this year. If we had maximised Q3, more points would be possible. As a team, we will review many things. After the red flag, the race was very uneventful, and it was just about managing tyres and pace to the chequered flag, where, in the end, the outcome was a deserved point for the team.

Bruno Famin – Team Principal

Yesterday’s Qualifying broadly defined today’s result, and, as a team, one point is how it ended. It’s a bittersweet feeling. We probably did not maximise yesterday’s Qualifying, but it is a positive outcome from where we ended Friday to where we ended Sunday. As a team, we will review and manage the incident between both cars behind closed doors. We must avoid situations that have the potential to compromise the team.

Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber made up ground but ultimately couldn’t score points in a tight Monaco Grand Prix that did not see any shaking up of the qualifying order. Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, starting from the second-last row, kept their noses clean during the first lap, which was halted by a red flag.

In the subsequent restart, the team implemented an aggressive strategy with Valtteri, but the lack of any other incidents – no Safety Cars, no different pit-stop strategies – meant the possible progress was limited, and our duo ended their otherwise flawless races in P13 with Valtteri and P16 with Zhou.

Valtteri Bottas

I spent most of the race stuck in a train, which definitely wasn’t that fun – if anything, it was pretty slow. Everyone knows how difficult is to overtake around here – we tried to take some opportunities by starting with the hardest compound, but we weren’t lucky with it because of the red flag, while everyone who was on a softer tyre benefitted from it. Still, I had a clean race despite everything. Both starts were decent, and I managed to make up a few places – overall, our pace was okay in clean air. Of course, qualifying is decisive here, and we had a tough time yesterday, lacking one-lap pace; normally, though, Monaco is an outlier, and we still learned lots from this weekend, which will be useful as we prepare to get back to racing in Montreal in two weeks’ time.

Zhou Guanyu

It’s been a really tame and uneventful afternoon for me. At the first start, I saw the accident with Perez, Magnussen and Hülkenberg just in front of me: it was a sketchy moment and I’m happy to see them all walk away from the shunt. After the restart, everyone got all the way to the end, and we were all in the same boat, so there was nothing we could do. Fernando was holding up the whole pack to create a gap for his teammate, which meant we were all on a train with no potential to overtake. Perhaps the race would have been a bit more interesting without the red flag, with different strategies, but that wasn’t the case. Monaco has always been a bit tricky for us. We need to understand why we suffer on layouts like these. We have work to do ahead of us, but we know Montreal will be different.

Alessandro Alunni Bravi, Team Representative

Today was a processionary race with a red flag after lap one, where all drivers except Sargeant decided to change their tyres, resulting in no more pit stops being expected. We tried our best to allow our drivers to attack the cars in front of them, but at a track like Monaco, where overtaking possibilities are close to zero, positions for most of the field were locked in. We tried a different strategy with Valtteri, who drove an aggressive race, as we pitted him on lap 15 from the medium compound to hard tyres, which allowed him to have a strong pace and overtake Sargeant to secure P13 – the maximum for today. Zhou experienced a more difficult race: he was stuck behind Sargeant until we decided to have him swap positions with Valtteri. During the last segment of the race, he lost his position to the Williams under blue flags before we pitted him onto the soft compound in case of a late Safety Car that didn’t happen. On a positive note, all three of our pit stops today have been our fastest during the season. They were quick and consistent – vital as it shows we can react and improve. Our most important target for the upcoming races is to improve in every area to bring us back into the fight for points.
