Race Notes | 2026 Monaco Grand Prix | 181 | Kimi's Fifth & What the FIA Did in the Motorhomes That Nobody Talked About

Kimi Antonelli won his fifth consecutive at Monaco -- the youngest winner in the race's history. He led every lap. He set pole and fastest lap. And when the restart came, the moment that had been his one visible vulnerability this season, he was flawless.

Everything behind him was chaos, heartbreak, and questions that don't have clean answers yet.

Pierre Gasly crossed the line third for Alpine. Two pit lane speeding penalties dropped him to seventh.

George Russell had a penalty compounded by a communication breakdown that meant it wasn't served correctly. He was running third at the time. Sabrina does not think his season is over. 

Charles Leclerc had a weekend where the outcome may have been decided before the race began.

Max Verstappen qualified second, which was arguably the most impressive single lap of the weekend, and retired on the formation lap with a power unit failure Red Bull had already planned to replace after Monaco.

And then there is the story most fans missed entirely. On Sunday, the FIA delivered its first ADUO verdict -- a catch-up mechanism built into the 2026 engine regulations, designed to give struggling manufacturers additional development allowances to close the gap. Sabrina walks through what she understands, where her limitations are, and why the political movement in Barcelona may matter more than the race result.

There is also the grid walk. Martin Brundle. And a conversation about who Formula 1 is for --- and who keeps getting it wrong.
