Kimi Antonelli holds nerve to win chaotic F1 Monaco GP after late red flag
Italian teenager becomes youngest winner of race
Lewis Hamilton second but Russell pays penalty
Kimi Antonelli won the Monaco Grand Prix for Mercedes with a dominant drive from pole to flag, becoming at 19 the youngest victor on the streets of Monte Carlo, in only his second F1 race at the circuit.
In a dramatic close to the race he held his nerve through two restarts under immense pressure.
The Italian delivered a consummate exhibition to take victory from Lewis Hamilton in second and the Red Bull of Isack Hadjar in third, though neither really challenged the Mercedes.
However, Antonelli had to weather nervelessly the tense final moments of a safety-car restart and then a full standing start after a red flag because the track itself was breaking up at the final corner.
