F1 Monaco Grand Prix 2024 Results: Final Classification with Penalties Applied

Charles Leclerc makes history with sixth Monaco Grand Prix win, becoming first Monegasque driver to win in F1 World Championship era.

Charles Leclerc's victory at the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix is nothing short of historic. Not only did he claim his sixth career win, but he also became the first Monegasque driver to triumph in Monaco during the F1 World Championship era. This achievement surpasses the previous feat of Louis Chiron, who won the race in 1931 before the official championship began.

The Ferrari star's win was not the only highlight of the race. The top three qualifiers - Leclerc, McLaren's Oscar Piastri, and Carlos Sainz - maintained their positions on the podium, showcasing Ferrari's dominance. Lando Norris and George Russell followed closely behind, rounding out the top five.

On the other hand, defending champion Max Verstappen faced challenges as he finished in sixth place, unable to make significant progress on the challenging Circuit de Monaco. Lewis Hamilton also struggled, finishing in seventh place.

The race began with a bang, as a first-lap crash involving Sergio Perez, Nico Hulkenberg, and Kevin Magnussen shook up the grid. Magnussen's existing penalty points put him at risk of a race ban, highlighting the consequences of on-track incidents. Additionally, the collision between Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly within the Alpine team added to the drama of the race.

Overall, the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix was a thrilling event filled with unexpected twists and turns. Leclerc's historic win will be remembered as a defining moment in F1 history, solidifying his status as a rising star in the sport.
