Lando Norris held off Charles Leclerc to win an unusual Monaco Grand Prix that was dictated by new pit stop requirements.

Pole-sitter Norris controlled the race and overcame the jeopardy of two mandatory tyre changes to win for the first time since the season-opener in Australia and cut his deficit to championship leader Oscar Piastri to three points.

Piastri took a seventh consecutive podium from fourth-placed Max Verstappen, who actually led the most laps and was leading until the penultimate lap when he took his final pit stop.
