F1 Monaco Grand Prix 2025 results: Final classification with penalties applied
The results of the Monaco Grand Prix have been officially confirmed by FIA stewards after additional investigations. Lando Norris emerged as the winner of the race, snatching victory on the final lap due to Max Verstappen’s late pit-stop.
One of the main F1 headlines following the race was Lewis Hamilton’s penalty verdict, resulting in an awkward Ferrari silence. The one-off rule enforcing a mandatory second pit-stop at Monaco received significant criticism from drivers, teams, pundits, and fans for not delivering the intended excitement.
Incidents involving Ollie Bearman and a collision between Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda kept the stewards busy post-race, alongside Fernando Alonso’s engine failure and Lewis Hamilton’s lackluster performance for Ferrari.
Despite Lando Norris setting the fastest lap in the race, the 2025 rule change has eliminated the extra point previously awarded for achieving the fastest lap, a regulation that had been in place since 2019. This modification aimed to prevent drivers from strategically pitting for new tires solely to secure the additional point, a tactic infamously used in the past by Daniel Ricciardo during his last F1 race.
