“Hamilton pushed hard in the restart but couldn’t find a way past”
Kimi Antonelli delivered a composed and commanding performance to win the Monaco Grand Prix, controlling the race from pole position and holding off strong pressure from Lewis Hamilton in a dramatic finish.
Antonelli led from the start and managed the race pace effectively through the tight Monte Carlo circuit, building a solid gap during the opening stages. His strategy and tire management allowed him to stay in control even as the race became increasingly unpredictable.
The final stages turned chaotic after multiple incidents triggered safety cars and a red flag, bringing the field back together for a tense restart. Hamilton closed the gap and pushed hard for the win, but Antonelli remained calm under pressure and defended his lead successfully.
Lewis Hamilton finished second after a strong drive, while Isack Hadjar secured third place on the podium.
Kimi Antonelli completed the race in a winning time of 1:52:18.403, sealing one of the most impressive victories of his Formula 1 career.
