The final classification for the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix has been made official after a highly attritional and chaotic afternoon around the streets of the Principality. Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli secured a dominant victory, controlling the race pace masterfully from the front of the field. Scuderia Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton crossed the line to lock down second place, while Isack Hadjar completed the podium positions with a superb drive into third for Red Bull Racing.
Further down the order, Oscar Piastri brought his McLaren home in a solid fourth place, closely followed by the Racing Bulls duo of Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad, who secured massive points for the team in fifth and sixth. Pierre Gasly, Alexander Albon, Nico Hülkenberg, and Esteban Ocon rounded out the final point-scoring positions in what proved to be a survival-of-the-fittest encounter where multiple frontrunners failed to reach the checkered flag.
