Kimi Antonelli wins chaotic Monaco Grand Prix

Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli won the Monaco Grand Prix on June 7, 2026, marking his fifth consecutive victory of the season. The 19-year-old started from pole position and maintained his lead throughout most of the race. The event was interrupted by a red flag on the 66th lap following a crash by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc at the final corner, which occurred shortly after a similar incident involving Lance Stroll in the 55th lap prompted safety concerns regarding the track surface. After a 40-minute delay for repairs, the race resumed with a standing start, which Antonelli successfully navigated to secure the win. Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari finished in second place, equaling Ayrton Senna's record of eight Monaco podiums, while Isack Hadjar finished third. Other notable developments included the retirements of Max Verstappen due to engine failure shortly after the start and Lando Norris due to a battery issue. George Russell fell to 14th after receiving a pit lane penalty following the restart.
