Kimi Antonelli takes pole at Monaco Grand Prix, edges Max Verstappen

sportsJun 6, 202620508

Andrea Kimi Antonelli set the fastest qualifying lap at the Monaco Grand Prix, taking pole for Mercedes by 0.043 seconds over Max Verstappen. Lewis Hamilton qualified third and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was fourth, completing the top four on the Monaco grid. Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur was rushed to hospital ahead of the weekend and missed qualifying. Antonelli's pole gives Mercedes a crucial front-row advantage on Monaco's tight street circuit, where grid position often decides the race outcome.

That kid is on fire, looks unstoppable at the moment.

In at the deep end3

Max will be first into St Devote, at some point later Kimi will make banzai move on Max, both will end up in the barriers and out of the race…..Lewis will pick up the pieces……just saying 😀

I’m starting to think that young Kimi lad might just be a little bit special, you know…

Having both won Monaco, Verstappen and Hamilton were asked if they had any advice for Antonelli in the post-qualifying presser. Verstappen: "When the lights go out, wait 1 second!" Hamilton: "When the lights go out, wait 2 seconds!" #F1 #MonacoGP

Kimi Antonelli takes pole position by 0.043s from Max Verstappen! Special talent. Hamilton is third and Leclerc fourth for an all-Ferrari second row, ahead of Hadjar, Russell, Piastri, Norris, Gasly and Lawson #F1 #MonacoGP

POLE WHEN IT MATTERED Kimi Antonelli has secured yet another pole position. With 33 of the previous 71 Monaco Grands Prix won from pole, you would certainly fancy his chances of converting it into victory tomorrow. #Mercedesamgf1 #f1news #moancogp

At 19 years old, Kimi Antonelli is the first teenager to take pole position for the #MonacoGP. He breaks Sebastian Vettel's former record as the youngest polesitter in Monaco, set in 2011, by over four years. #F1
