Kimi Antonelli has dominated the Monaco Grand Prix, leading the race from start to finish. Two safety car periods and a red flag couldn't stop him while behind it was an eventful affair with retirements and penalties all over. Hamilton finished second with Hadjar provisionally in third.
In Monaco he could have kept up the field with wooden wheels.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑12 Jun 2026, 16:39McLaren wanted to change tires so they had to serve the penalty. Gasly gambled by not changing and then had the luck of Leclerc crashing on restart leading to a free tire change under a red flag. I'm super critical of McLaren strategy but this was fine. Without red flag we have Gasly fighting to stay ahead on super old tires.
I'm not sure, I think he was under threat even on tires of same age. With a big tire deficit we may have had an real overtake.mzso wrote: ↑12 Jun 2026, 17:03In Monaco he could have kept up the field with wooden wheels.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑12 Jun 2026, 16:39McLaren wanted to change tires so they had to serve the penalty.

Reinstating Gaslys podium is a massive cock up. There are going to be a lot of repercussion from this
