In a commanding performance, McLaren’s Lando Norris won the Monaco Grand Prix, marking his first victory at the iconic circuit and his second win of the season. Starting from pole position, Norris maintained his lead throughout the race, effectively managing the newly implemented three-tyre compound rule.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc finished second, with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri securing third place. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, hindered by limited tyre options, adopted an alternative strategy but ultimately finished fourth after a late pit stop.
Norris’s victory narrows Piastri’s lead in the drivers’ championship to three points, intensifying the competition as the season progresses.
The race was notably incident-free, with only a virtual safety car deployed early on due to a crash involving Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto.
