Memorial Day Weekend in the United States of America is known as one of the best weekends in motorsports, with the Indianapolis 500 and Coca Cola 600 events in Indy Car and NASCAR respectively. But the hardcore racing fan gets up early on Sunday and watches the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. While admittedly, the race is rarely full of drama, it at last captures the essence of glamour, glitz, opulence, and fun. Even more fun when a driver from Monaco wins like Charles Leclerc. Who did just that. Leclerc took the pole position with his Ferrari, then the lead after the start, then a restart after a red flag on Lap 1. And never looked back. A balance between keeping distance and preserving tires enabled the Monacan to make it look easy (in a sport dominated by a two-time defending champion). Leclerc won the biggest race of his life and is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
