Kimi Antonelli took a dominant victory in the Monaco Grand Prix ahead of the Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton after a chaotic ending that featured two safety cars and a red flag. The 19-year-old Italian’s fifth win in a row, in combination with a dire race for Mercedes team-mate George Russell, who finished 12th and out of the points, puts him in a commanding position in the championship. Pierre Gasly finished third for Alpine, but was immediately dropped to seventh with a penalty that promoted Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar to the final podium position.
