Monaco GP: Norris Snatches Pole, Leclerc's Home Podium, and Mercedes Strategy Sabotaged
Manage episode 484961872 series 3649540
It’s the Monaco Grand Prix, where glitz, glamour, and chaos collide on one of the toughest circuits in F1. This year brought even more spice with the FIA enforcing a two-stop rule for the first time in Monte Carlo history.
Local hero Charles Leclerc looked set for a fairy-tale weekend, but it was Lando Norris who stole the spotlight, snatching pole in qualifying and converting it into a flawless race win. Oscar Piastri joined the action on the podium in P3, while Leclerc still gave his home crowd something to cheer about with a strong P2 finish for Ferrari.
Strategy was the name of the game, with teams like Racing Bulls and Williams playing smart — backing the field behind them and ultimately securing valuable points. Unfortunately, those same tactics spelled disaster for Mercedes, who walked away empty-handed. Rookie Liam Lawson finally broke through and bagged his first points.
We break down all the major talking points from this electric weekend — from the tense exchanges between Lewis Hamilton and his Ferrari engineer to the off-track drama of the infamous Monaco diamond heist involving Team Jaguar.
