Kimi Antonelli wins the Monaco Grand Prix for Mercedes, taking a sixth straight victory and becoming the youngest driver to win the race in Monte Carlo at age 19. Reports describe him as converting pole into a race-long lead, maintaining control through multiple interruptions near the end. The race becomes chaotic after parts of the track surface break away, leading to crashes and a red flag. After the stoppage, Antonelli holds his position through restarts, including a safety-car restart and another restart that includes a standing-start procedure, despite pressure in the closing laps.
Lewis Hamilton, driving for Ferrari, finishes second, and Isack Hadjar of Red Bull is reported as third after managing issues during the race, including a threatened power problem. Multiple outlets also note that Antonelli is the first Italian to win five consecutive F1 races since the early 1950s. With the result, Antonelli extends his advantage in the drivers’ standings, increasing his lead over key rivals, including Hamilton.
