Who said the Monaco Grand Prix was boring! Kimi Antonelli wins his fifth race in a row to extend his world championship lead in a chaotic Grand Prix.
How did teenager Antonelli hold off seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, even with a late red flag? After heartbreak for Max Verstappen, home hero Charles Leclerc, reigning world champion Lando Norris, and George Russell, how do they bounce back? Will any of the many driver penalties be overturned? And is DC off to party with Kim Kardashian?
