Lando Norris Holds Firm in Monaco Thriller, with a massive winning over the Ferrari

Norris’s triumph was built on a flawless qualifying performance, where he set a new track record with a lap of 1:09.954, edging out Leclerc by just 0.109 seconds. At the race start, Norris managed to maintain his lead despite a lock-up into Turn 1, keeping Leclerc at bay.

The race was influenced by the newly introduced two-pitstop rule, designed to add strategic complexity to the traditionally processional Monaco Grand Prix. Despite the added pit stops, overtaking remained a challenge on the narrow circuit.

Leclerc, aiming for a home victory, stayed within striking distance throughout the race but couldn’t capitalize on any opportunities to pass. Piastri, maintaining a consistent pace, secured third place, ensuring a double podium finish for McLaren.


🔍 Key Moments & Incidents

  • Pierre Gasly retired after a collision with Yuki Tsunoda, bringing out a safety car.
  • The mandatory two-pitstop rule led to varied strategies, but the narrow track limited overtaking opportunities.
  • Lewis Hamilton, despite a grid penalty for impeding Max Verstappen in qualifying, managed to finish fifth.

🗣️ Driver Reactions

Lando Norris: “Winning in Monaco is a dream come true. The team gave me an incredible car, and we executed our strategy perfectly.”

Charles Leclerc: “It’s always special to race at home. We gave it our all, but overtaking here is nearly impossible without mistakes.”

Oscar Piastri: “A solid result for the team. Double podiums are always satisfying, and we’re looking forward to the next race.”


With this victory, Norris closes the gap in the Drivers’ Championship standings, intensifying the battle as the season progresses. The next race will be the Canadian Grand Prix, where teams will face a different set of challenges on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
