The Monaco Grand Prix in 2019 was a very nice weekend for Honda, because that weekend all the drivers of Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso (now AlphaTauri) scored points. The engine supplier had to wait a year for it, but during the Russian Grand Prix the Japanese engine team managed to repeat this trick.

Max Verstappen took his first ever podium in Sochi this weekend, while teammate Alexander Albon barely managed to score one World Championship point. With that he did worse than AlphaTauri drivers Daniil Kyvat and Pierre Gasly. They finished eighth and ninth respectively.
