2025 Monaco Grand Prix Race Report and Highlights: Lando Norris the victory over Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piatri in the gripping Monaco GP

How it happened

After another classic qualification meeting of Monaco from Norris, the attention soon turned to the 78-round race on Sunday for the principality and how the new, obligatory two pit stop levels could shake things in the course of the afternoon.

In short, each driver would have to use three different tire sets in the entire race, including two different Slick tire compounds, with the F1 supplier Pirelli amusingly explaining that in his usual strategy handbook “everything can happen” before the race.

A few drivers who wanted to take advantage of this new rule were bearman and a walk, which with the respective 10-place and four-place grid fines on the back were impaired and related to various red flags that are available throughout the practice.

Another man who lost before the start of the raster spots was Hamilton, who was well recovered by an accident at the end of the last exercise to end the four-cut qualification, just to earn a three-place decline because he was eliminated during the first quarter.

When the drivers competed on the grid, with Bearans car found in an “uncertain state”, it was found that the majority of the field would begin with medium tires, with Verstappen, Alonso, Hamilton, Sainz, Russelli, Antonelli, Colapinto and Stroll for Hards and Tsunoda.
