Monaco: Antonelli Dominates & Russell's Nightmare Continues • Fast Ones • Episode 144

Monaco is supposed to be the race where nothing happens. This was not that Monaco. Kimi Antonelli made it five wins in a row — five out of six races in 2026 — with a pole-to-flag masterclass around the streets of Monte Carlo that looked routine until the world behind him fell apart. Seven drivers retired from the race, including Max Verstappen on the opening lap with a power unit failure and Charles Leclerc crashing out to trigger a red flag. Lando Norris also failed to finish. Lewis Hamilton took second for Ferrari — his second consecutive podium — while Isack Hadjar inherited third for his maiden Red Bull podium after Pierre Gasly dropped back with two separate pit lane speeding penalties. And then there were the stewards. Colapinto penalized. Gasly penalized twice. Stroll penalized. Hülkenberg penalized for punting Sainz into the wall. Pérez was stripped of his P10 finish post-race for a false start, which promoted Fernando Alonso into the points — giving Aston Martin their first championship point of the entire 2026 season. George Russell's weekend went from bad to worse — a drive-through penalty sent him tumbling to P14, making it two races in a row without scoring. Meanwhile, his teammate is 66 points clear at the top of the championship and showing no signs of slowing down. We're breaking down all of it — the dominance, the carnage, the penalty parade, and whether anyone on this grid can actually stop Kimi Antonelli before the season is half over. #formula1 #mclarenf1 #monacogp #monaco #maxverstappen #f1 #oscarpiastri #landonorris #zakbrown #redbullracing #haasf1 #olliebearman #mclaren #wdc #lewishamilton #scuderiaferrari #charlesleclerc #mercedesf1 #mercedesf1 #kimiantonelli #kylebusch
