Kimi Antonelli extended his winning streak to five races with a dominant performance in the Monaco Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver started from pole and controlled the event despite multiple interruptions. International media outlets highlighted his composure amid retirements and a red flag.
Antonelli managed the race from the front after a clean start. Rivals including Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and Valtteri Bottas retired or encountered issues during the event. A red flag was caused by the track surface breaking up at the final corner. Antonelli maintained his lead through a safety car restart and a subsequent standing start. Isack Hadjar achieved his first podium for Red Bull. Lewis Hamilton finished second for Ferrari. Three French drivers scored points for the first time since 2018.
