Norris wins 'dream' maiden Monaco Grand Prix

Principality Of Monaco Lando Norris won his maiden Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday to close the gap on his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri in the battle for the 2025 drivers' world title. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc took second with Piastri completing the podium in the eighth race of the season. Norris closed to within three points of Piastri after adding the jewel in the F1 calendar to his season-opening win in Australia. Four-time reigning world champion Max Verstappen took fourth with Lewis Hamilton in the other Ferrari rounding out the top five. "Monaco, baby! It's a dream" Norris exclaimed over the team radio, after becoming the first McLaren driver to win on the sinuous streets of the Principality since Hamilton in 2008. "It feels amazing, it's a long gruelling race. An amazing weekend with pole, with today. This is what we dream of, this is what I did dream of as a kid," beamed the 25-year-old. He was pushed hard to the end of the gruelling and at times chaotic afternoon in the Monaco sunshine by Leclerc, who took second, 3.131s behind. "Lando did a better job and he deserves to win. It is above our expectations here, I thought we would struggle to be in the top 10 so it has been a good weekend, but I wish I'd won," said the Monaco-born Leclerc. Piastri rued a tricky time in qualifying on Saturday. "I got close but not close enough, and you run around here where you started," said the Australian.

Leclerc dominates Monaco practice

AFP | Monte Carlo Home hero tops both sessions, boosting Ferrari's hopes despite downbeat forecasts Local hero Charles Leclerc made light of his own downbeat forecasts by recording a convincing 'double top' for Ferrari in yesterday's opening practice sessions at the Monaco Grand Prix. The 27-year-old Monegasque, who won last year's race to become the first home winner in the modern era of the Formula One world championship, kept alive hopes of a repeat and boosted Ferrari after a disappointing start to the year. Leclerc, who on Thursday said he had 'low' expectations for this weekend's race, clocked a fastest lap in one minute 11.355 seconds to top the times ahead of championship leader Oscar Piastri of McLaren by 0.038 seconds, fending off four-time world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull and his teammate Yuki Tsunoda. Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton was third in the second Ferrari, one-tenth down on his teammate, ahead of Lando Norris in the second McLaren—a result that suggests Ferrari and McLaren may be the teams to beat this weekend. Liam Lawson, who was dropped by Red Bull after only two races this season, was fifth for RB ahead of teammate Isack Hadjar, who had two heavy brushes with the barriers in a session interrupted twice by red flag stoppages. Two-time champion Fernando Alonso was seventh for Aston Martin ahead of Williams' Alex Albon, Mercedes' new boy Kimi Antonelli, and de- George Russell was 12th for Mercedes, a position, like those of several other drivers, that may not indicate his true potential for qualifying on Saturday when the grid — so important for this race at the tight, narrow, and bumpy street circuit — is decided. After a busy start, French rookie Hadjar triggered the first red flag of FP2 when he smacked the barriers at the Nouvelle Chicane, having clipped the inside barrier and damaging his left rear wheel. His tyre continued to rotate on the rim as he kept his car moving. In the interval between sessions, Lance Stroll was handed a one-place grid penalty for dawdling at the hairpin during FP1 and causing an accident with Leclerc who, remarkably, recovered and set the fastest time. 'So dangerous' When the afternoon action resumed, Piastri prompted the second red flag when he hit the wall at Saint Devote, losing his front wing before reversing out and nursing his McLaren back to the pits. The lock-up was a rare error by the Australian driver, who leads Norris by 13 points in the championship. Five minutes later, Verstappen was grumbling furiously about rookie Gabriel Bortoleto's cautious progress in his Sauber at the Swimming Pool. 'So dangerous,' ranted the champion. Further confirmation of Ferrari's pace came when Hamilton went top after 29 minutes before Alonso beat him—proof if needed that the two oldest men in the field still have the talent and speed. Leclerc then climbed to the top of the times. If his Ferrari was not suited to the task, as he said on Thursday, this statement lap was a big surprise for him and his team. Hamilton tried to match him but settled for third, 0.486 seconds behind the Monegasque man, a position he lost to a bold lap from Liam Lawson's RB with 17 minutes remaining. As if to confirm Ferrari's yesterday miracle, Hamilton then rose to second, one-tenth off his teammate, before being pipped by 0.038 by Piastri with seven minutes to go—time enough for another mistake by Hadjar who smacked the barriers again at Ste Devote. 'So stupid,' he told his team.

Hamilton revels in Ferrari's ‘sea of red' tifosi

Lewis Hamilton beamed with pleasure after his first experience of racing for Ferrari and the tifosi on home soil at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on Sunday. 'Wow!' said the seven-time champion who left Mercedes to join Ferrari at the end of last year. 'What a day. I am so happy. So happy. 'The experience with the tifosi – wow! 'So, thank you to everyone who came out,' said Hamilton, after finishing a rousing fourth from 12th on the grid. 'It was really special for me to see the sea of red, but it looks like one of the biggest crowds we've had here. It felt vintage! 'It felt like back in the day when I was watching Michael Schumacher race here. A really great experience to see and to experience. 'I definitely didn't expect us to finish fourth. I didn't know where we would be able to come, given we were so far back. 'The car really felt great and the team did a fantastic job with strategy. 'They were faultless. Slowly, we are getting there and me and Riccardo (race engineer, Adami) did a fantastic job with the communication together. 'I was calm and I think he was calm and the team were calm in executing the strategy and the pit stops were awesome. 'Overall, it was mega! I was hoping for some extra laps and maybe we could have fought for a podium.' After a difficult run in adapting to car, team and language in the opening six 'flyaway' races, Hamilton, 40, showed his heart and spirit as he fought for positions and raced to within reach of a possible first podium for Ferrari. But it was a different story for teamm ate Charles Leclerc, in his seventh year with the team, as he lamente d his car's lack of qualifying pace and other setbacks on his way to sixth. 'You've got to race with heart and put your elbows out,' he said. 'You go to the limit and sometimes a bit over. 'When you start P11, as a driver, I cannot accept the situation we are in.'
