Kimi Antonelli continued his remarkable rise in Formula One by becoming the youngest winner in Monaco Grand Prix history, producing a composed and mature drive in a dramatic race at the Monte Carlo on Sunday.
The 19-year-old Mercedes driver converted pole position into victory despite a series of late race interruptions, which transformed an otherwise controlled afternoon into a tense showdown . Antonelli crossed the finish line afraid of the Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton, while Pierre Gasly had originally finished third, but a post-race penalty promoted the Isack Hjacker of RedBull for the final podium position.
Adding an extra star power to the Moanco weekend, celebrity entrepreneur Kim Kardashian was seen suproting Hmailton and Ferrari from the paddock . The seven-time world champion responded with a strong performance, keeping the Antelli under the final laps and securing a valuable second-place finish, which also pushes him into second spot in the overall championship standings
Meanwhile, several leading contenders faced difficult afternoons. George Russell suffered multiple penalties, while reigning champion Max Verstappen and McLaren’s Lando Norris both retired from the race due to technical issues.
For Antonelli, however, Monaco represented another defining moment in a breakthrough campaign. The victory not only made him the youngest winner in Monaco Grand Prix history but also marked his fifth consecutive race win, underlining his dominance and reinforcing his status as the brightest young star in Formula One.
