It feels completely incredible, says the McLaren driver.

Norris has never won in Monaco before.

This is what we dream about, this was what I dreamed about as a child. We're going to have an incredible evening, says Norris.

The classic race in the small country has been discussed since it's difficult to pass opponents on the track, and the starting positions often become the final positions.

To counteract this, F1's governing body, FIA, introduced an extra mandatory pit stop during the race in an attempt to create more excitement.

Despite the initiative, the driver with pole position won the race.

Behind him, Norris had Charles Leclerc, Ferrari, followed by McLaren colleague Oscar Piastri.

The latter continues to top the overall standings with his four victories this season. Norris is second, and Red Bull's Max Verstappen is third in the overall standings.
