Frances Fry (Assistant Writer) - "Monaco is not renowned for giving drivers the chance to show off their pro racing skills. Due to this, I found it rather difficult to decide who I thought did best through the weekend. However, upon thinking of who to pick, the choice became ever clear. Without a doubt, Jenson Button deserves recognition for his weekend. It's no secret that McLaren have had an exceptionally difficult start to the 2015 season. However, this weekend, with his incredible determination, Jenson Button managed to cross the line in 8th place! Bringing 4 points to the team and ending the drought.
Although the number of points is very low, it has acted as a sort of reassurance for fans and the team as it seems to be a sign that the McLaren/Honda alliance wasn't as dreadful as people had begun to think it was. Although it is only 4 points, for Button to be able to sustain that place throughout the race and bring them home for the team is a great achievement within itself. Especially since there was a safety car which bunches all of the cars up again. I believe the McLaren Honda will get there, there's just a bit of work to do."
Amy Hawk (Lead Writer & Editor) - "My driver of the weekend is Sergio Perez. Not only did he have the pace during qualifying but he was able to achieve his best Monaco GP finish of his career, bringing home 6 points for the Force India team. I'm almost 100% positive Nico (Hulkenberg) would've been able to score points too if there hadn't been contact in the first lap with Alonso. It was a racing accident, but none the less it did cost Nico the potential for points.
Perez is a very talented and skilled driver. He's very precise with overtaking the other cars (As we saw in Singapore last year, making his way from 19th to 7th) - And he's got the hunger to do good every weekend. He's very driven and I think in Formula 1, that is very important. There's no doubt he and the team will have a good weekend in Canada as well."
