Kimi Antonelli dominated the Monaco Grand Prix, becoming the youngest driver to complete an F1 Grand Slam and setting additional records as the youngest Monaco winner and youngest to claim five consecutive victories. The race featured multiple safety car periods and a red flag, but Antonelli held off Lewis Hamilton, who moved to second in the standings despite a growing deficit. Several drivers faced penalties, including Pierre Gasly, who lost a podium, and George Russell, whose errors and penalties left him outside the points for a second straight race. Max Verstappen retired on lap one due to engine issues, while Isack Hadjar earned his first podium and Aston Martin secured its first points of the season.
