Monaco Grand Prix delivers dramatic finish with Antonelli victory and Alonso close to first point

The Monaco Grand Prix ended in chaos. Francesco Antonelli claimed victory after the race was punctuated by accidents involving Lance Stroll and Charles Leclerc, a serious engine failure for Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, and a five‑second penalty imposed on Lewis Hamilton for a pit‑lane speed breach. Leclerc recovered to finish second, while Hamilton’s penalty dropped him to third. Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz retired, and a post‑race investigation was opened into Sergio Perez. Fernando Alonso managed an 11th‑place finish, putting him on the brink of his first point of the season.

In the supporting Formula 3 event, 19‑year‑old Bruno del Pino of Barcelona recorded a third‑place finish, moving him up to second in the championship standings after a strong drive that saw him overtake rivals in the final laps.
