Kimi Antonelli continues his brilliant moment in Formula 1. The young Italian Mercedes driver secured pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix on Saturday, recording the fastest time of 1'12”051 on the narrow streets of Monte Carlo.
Antonelli surprised his rivals and managed to overtake defending champion Max Verstappen. The Red Bull driver, a four-time world champion, came in second after a strong performance in qualifying.
The two Ferrari drivers will start from the second row of the grid. Lewis Hamilton secured third place, ahead of his teammate Charles. The Monegasque driver, who for a moment seemed to be in the lead, finished fourth after the decisive laps.
Behind Leclerc was Isak Hadjar with Red Bull, while George Russell with Mercedes was classified in sixth place.
A disappointing performance came from McLaren, with Oscar Piastre and Lando Norris finishing seventh and eighth respectively. The top ten was completed by Pierre Gasly and Liam Lawson.
On a track like Monaco, where overtaking opportunities are limited and starting position is crucial, the result of qualifying could be decisive for Sunday's race. For Antonelli, pole position represents a golden opportunity to aim for another success and strengthen his position in the championship standings.
