F1 2018: Monaco GP Driver Ratings - Ricciardo top, Verstappen impresses and more

#5 McLaren

Fernando Alonso of Spain and McLaren F1 Team

Fernando Alonso - DNF

Last year's Monaco Grand Prix had Fernando Alonso nowhere to be seen as he was across the pond representing McLaren at the Indy 500 in Indianapolis.

12 months on and Alonso had to suffer his first retirement of the 2018 season, after the car suffered from a gearbox problem.

It was rumoured the Spaniard would do well and some believed he could win the famous race for a third time in his career but it looked unlikely from lights out.

Alonso started the race in 7th position and stayed in the top 10 until the remaining 20 laps or so.

Driver rating: 1/10

Stoffel Vandoorne - 14th

If 2018 has taught us a couple of things so far, one is the obvious of Stoffel Vandoorne being McLaren's number two driver and the Dutchman has so far been forgotten on the track.

Vandoorne is no doubt a respectable driver at the McLaren garage, but this season so far has been a quiet one for the 26 year old.

It probably doesn't help that Fernando Alonso is his team mate.

Sunday's race was quite a dull one for Vandoorne as he finished outside the points and was overlapped.

Driver rating: 3/10
