Monaco Grand Prix: Kimi Antonelli kept his cool amid late-race drama and a host of retirements to claim victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, extending his lead at the top of the Formula One Drivers' Championship standings.

The Mercedes driver turned pole position into a strong win on the streets of Monte Carlo, finishing ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull's Isack Hadjar. Seven drivers didn't reach the chequered flag during the race.

Antonelli had a perfect start, keeping the lead when the lights went out. Meanwhile, reigning world champion Max Verstappen struggled at the start as his Red Bull seemed to go into anti-stall mode. He dropped back in the pack before retiring, becoming the first casualty of the race.
