2025 Monaco Grand Prix Race Report: Norris Wins in Monaco

The 2025 Monaco Grand Prix brought the kind of chaos, speed, and surprises we’ve come to love about the circuit. And once again, Mclaren stood tall combining raw pace and straight-line dominance into one formidable package.

Top Speed Rankings – Who Ruled the Straights?

Mclaren led the top speed chart with a searing 288 km/h, outpacing Ferrari(285 km/h) and Red Bull (286 km/h). Despite their midfield pace, teams like Aston Martin and Williams showed strong straight-line numbers (~286 km/h), hinting at low-drag setups or strategic engine deployment.

Leclerc Lap Time Analysis – So Close Yet So Far

Leclerc started from pole and led the first phase of the race but lost track position after Norris’ early stop. His lap times, especially on the Mediums, were consistent, but he struggled with tire warm-up during the out-lap and couldn’t maintain undercut defense.

What Cost Leclerc the Win?

  • Norris’ out-lap was 1.2s faster after his stop
  • Ferrari delayed their response by one lap

The strategy was solid — just not aggressive enough against a charging McLaren.

Could this be the start of a serious championship charge?
