Antonelli holds off Hamilton to win chaotic Monaco GP after red flag

The 19-year-old Mercedes driver overcame a red flag and late restart to become the youngest Monaco Grand Prix winner and stretch his title lead to 66 points.

  • On Sunday, Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli won the Monaco Grand Prix, becoming the youngest winner in the event's history at 19 years old, extending his championship lead to 66 points.
  • Race officials red-flagged the event due to crumbling tarmac at the final corner, which caused a crash for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and forced a 37-minute stoppage for repairs.
  • Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton secured second, matching Ayrton Senna's eight Monte Carlo podiums, while Red Bull's Isack Hadjar took third; Max Verstappen retired on lap one and Lando Norris on lap 46.
  • George Russell finished 13th after a drive-through penalty for incorrectly serving a pit-lane speeding sanction, dropping the Mercedes driver to third in the championship standings, 68 points behind Antonelli.
  • Racing Bulls drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad finished fifth and sixth, securing double points as Formula One heads to Barcelona next week for the Spanish Grand Prix.
