Leclerc and company stand to attention to the winners' national anthems as is customary. The Monegasque and Italian anthems work really well together, very jolly.
Russell on his third place: "We've got to be in it to win it and capitalise on others' misfortune and obviously we got a little bit lucky today twice, but we'll take it."
"Let's go for the fastest lap at the end," Leclerc tells his Ferrari team. He's got it currently with a 1m21.291s, which is half a second faster than closest challenger Perez has achieved.
