During the Monaco race, only five teams made pit stops, meaning not every team scored points in the trophy. For example, Ferrari and McLaren did not make a pit stop. This increases Red Bull's lead at the top. The Austrian racing stable tops the championship with 258 points. Ferrari has to settle for second place with 111 points until the Canadian Grand Prix.
