Kimi Antonelli Wins 2026 Monaco Grand Prix After Securing Pole PositionPreviousNext

Kimi Antonelli secured pole position and won the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, becoming the youngest driver to claim victory at the iconic race and extending his winning streak to five consecutive wins. Starting from pole, Antonelli maintained control despite a chaotic race featuring a red flag, safety cars, and Max Verstappen's early retirement due to engine failure. Lewis Hamilton finished second, with Isack Hadjar completing the podium. Charles Leclerc crashed late in qualifying and during the race, impacting the event's dynamics.
