Lando Norris delivered a commanding performance in Monte Carlo in the 2025 Formula 1 Monaco GP, securing his second win of the 2025 Formula 1 season to tighten things up in at the top of the F1 championship standings.
Norris took control of the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix from the outset and never let go, executing a flawless strategy from pole to seal his second victory of the season and his first at Monte Carlo. The McLaren driver led home Charles Leclerc and teammate Oscar Piastri in a tactically intense race shaped by Formula 1’s experimental three-compound tyre regulation.
Norris’ win reduces Piastri’s lead in the drivers’ championship to just three points, while Max Verstappen—who finished fourth after a late pit stop—falls 25 points adrift heading to Spain. The 78-lap contest unfolded under the cloud of Formula 1’s new regulation mandating the use of three tyre compounds, effectively enforcing two pit stops for all drivers. The rule added strategic jeopardy, but for the front-runners it was a clean execution rather than chaos that defined the day.
