Answers: What went wrong operationally and strategically at the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix?

• Monaco Grand Prix 2022
• F1 race time limits and clocks
• F1 red flag procedure and delays
• Verstappen pit exit line incident
• Ferrari race strategy errors

What it concludes

• The 3-hour total time limit is fixed from the scheduled start time, while the 2-hour race clock only runs when the race is active.
• F1 red flag procedures take too long, requiring a minimum 15-minute delay even under optimal conditions.
• The December 2021 rule change to the International Sporting Code clarifies that a car's tyre must not cross the pit exit line, rather than any part of the car.
• Switching to intermediate tyres as early as possible was the fastest strategy in changing wet-to-dry conditions at Monaco.
• Ferrari's delayed pit stops and incorrect tyre choices caused Leclerc and Sainz to lose a potential victory to Perez.
