Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has hailed the performance of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen after Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, praising both by calling them "champions"
Raikkonen started the race from pole position, the first time he's done so since France 2008. Despite appearing to have a hold of his teammate in the first stint of the race, he ultimately lost out on strategy as Vettel was ahead after both men made their pitstops.
"The 1-2 is a great result for the entire team, on a track that highlights the qualities of the car and the person driving it," said Arrivabene. "Both our drivers performed like champions. Starting from pole, Kimi led the race up until his pit stop, which took place on the planned lap.
"Seb stayed out for a few more laps to cover [Daniel] Ricciardo. Vettel's times were exceptional on Ultrasofts that had done a lot of laps, which confirms the quality of the Pirelli product. As for Kimi, unfortunately, he lost a bit too much time behind a backmarker.
"The most important aspect of the race is that all the hard work carried out by the guys at the track was rewarded, as was the fact that our car was so well conceived back in Maranello. Now, it's already time for us to think of the forthcoming Grand Prix in Canada."

Can we take a moment to appreciate that someone else than Mercedes now lead the Constructor's Championship AND the Driver's Standings?
