Carlos Sainz's Monaco points streak is over... what a run 👏 https://t.co/nECxSfL4lm

What happened: Carlos Sainz's run of points finishes at the Monaco Grand Prix has come to an end, as Autosport marked the close of a notable streak at the circuit. The result came in a Monaco race won by Kimi Antonelli. Sainz finished outside the points after losing track position late.

Why it matters: Monaco had been a dependable points venue for Sainz, so the end of the streak is a setback in a tightly contested midfield. After the race, Sainz voiced frustration, saying he had several points secured before being passed in the closing stages. The stumble matters for a driver now racing with Williams and fighting for every position in the constructors' battle.

What to watch: Attention turns to whether Sainz can rebound at the next round and start a fresh scoring run as he works back up the standings.
