Monaco belongs to Lando Norris. The British driver clinched victory in Formula 1’s most prestigious Grand Prix, holding off a determined Charles Leclerc who finished second on his home turf. Completing the podium was Oscar Piastri, sealing a superb day for McLaren.

A tense and tactical race, made more dynamic by mandatory two-stop strategies. Strong performances from the Racing Bulls – Hadjar sixth, Lawson eighth – and Williams, with Albon ninth and Sainz tenth after smart teamwork.
