McLaren’s Lando Norris won the Monaco Grand Prix for the time controlling the race from start to finish. Norris craftly navigated the potential pitfalls of a new rule requiring driver to us three sets of tyres during the race to lead throughout and beat Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc for the Briton’s second victory of the season.  McLaren’s Oscar Piastri took third , with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen  fourth and Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari in the fifth.

Norris negotiated both pit-stop periods, starting on medium tyre followed by two stints on the hard, splitting the race more or less into thirds. Verstappen went into the race at a disadvantage in having only one set each of the medium and hard tyres available which required him to use the softs.
