Monaco Grand Prix
Circuit de Monaco · 25 May 2025

The plan worked exactly as Monaco always works: Norris held the lead from pole, never lost it, and the only real action came from teams gaming the rule by deliberately backing the field up to give a teammate a free pit-stop. Charles Leclerc’s home charge ended at P2 (+3.131s), while Oscar Piastri salvaged the championship math at P3.
