Who are the youngest winners of the Monaco Grand Prix?

After another victory, more Formula 1 records were broken by Kimi Antonelli with his latest success in the Monaco Grand Prix. Amongst several, the Italian became the youngest driver to win on the streets of the Principality, but who did he beat to claim the accolade?

10. Niki Lauda – 1975

26 years 2 months 19 days

Having joined Ferrari the previous season, Niki Lauda would go on to dominate the 1975 season as he bagged five victories during the course of the campaign – which began with his first win in Monaco.

At the wheel of Ferrari's new 312T, Lauda stormed to pole position with the Shadows of Tom Pryce and Jean-Pierre Jarier the only drivers able to get within a second of the Austrian during Qualifying.

With the race held in wet conditions, many of Lauda's rivals hit the armco as the Ferrari driver only briefly lost the lead to Ronnie Peterson's Lotus, leading 74 out of 75 laps.

Despite suffering from low oil pressure in the closing stages and with a fast-charging Emerson Fittipaldi closing in, Lauda claimed victory by nearly three seconds as the two-hour limit was reached.

It heralded the way for two more consecutive victories in Belgium and Sweden en route to the title, before Lauda repeated his Monaco triumph 12 months later in a career that ultimately yielded three world titles and 25 Grands Prix victories.

9. Kimi Raikkonen – 2005

25 years 7 months 5 days

Beating championship rival Fernando Alonso to pole position by less than one-tenth ultimately paved the way for Kimi Raikkonen to take a dominant victory in the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix.

The Finn would lead all 78 laps in his McLaren MP4-20, finishing nearly 14 seconds clear of Nick Heidfeld and Mark Webber, the Williams duo having overtaken Alonso as the Renault driver struggled on worn tyres that under the 2005 regulations, were required to complete the full-race distance.

Despite a further six victories during the campaign, Raikkonen missed out on the title to Alonso before achieving the feat after moving to Ferrari in 2007, as well as securing two more rostrums in the Principality before retiring at the end of 2021.

8. Lando Norris – 2025

25 years 6 months 12 days

Like many before him, pole position proved crucial for Lando Norris in his bid to win the Monaco Grand Prix for the first time last season.

The McLaren driver denied home hero and 2024 winner Charles Leclerc by just one-tenth in Qualifying, but faced constant pressure from the Ferrari driver for the majority of proceedings.

Only conceding the lead to Leclerc and Red Bull's Max Verstappen during the pit stop phase, Norris claimed victory by three seconds from Leclerc and team mate Oscar Piastri.

The victory proved crucial as it was Norris' first since the opening round of the season seven races earlier, with the Briton ultimately going on to claim his maiden F1 Drivers' title in an Abu Dhabi title-decider where just two points separated himself from Verstappen.

7. Michael Schumacher – 1994

25 years 4 months 12 days

The Formula 1 fraternity arrived in Monaco in 1994 under a black cloud following the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at Imola just two weeks earlier, while a heavy crash for Karl Wendlinger in practice did little to improve the atmosphere.

Having claimed victory in the opening three rounds of the season, champion-elect Michael Schumacher took his maiden F1 career pole position in Monaco, with the front row left clear as a mark of respect for Senna and Ratzenberger.

As Damon Hill's Williams and McLaren's Mika Hakkinen collided directly behind Schumacher into Sainte Devote at the start, the way was clear for the Benetton driver to claim his fourth win on the bounce, 37 seconds clear of Martin Brundle's McLaren.

Schumacher would claim a further four wins in Monte Carlo, including in 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001 as the German secured seven world titles across his time at Benetton and Ferrari.

6. Fernando Alonso – 2006

24 years 9 months 30 days

Fernando Alonso and Renault once again proved to be the package to beat in 2006, the Spaniard having claimed his maiden F1 title the previous season, and he arrived at Round 7 in Monaco with three wins and three runner-up finishes to his name.

A resurgent Ferrari and Michael Schumacher proved to be Alonso's closest challenger, and the German held provisional pole as both tried to improve with their final Qualifying runs. But when Schumacher ran deep at Rascasse and came to a halt, it prevented Alonso from improving, handing Schumacher top spot.

However, the stewards deemed the act deliberate and put Schumacher to the back of the grid, paving the way for Alonso to claim his first Monaco victory as other main rivals, including Mark Webber (Williams) and Kimi Raikkonen (McLaren) retired with mechanical issues.

Alonso would win again 12 months later in Monaco for McLaren, where he denied rookie team mate Lewis Hamilton, and he would add a further three Monaco podiums to date during a career which has lasted 23 years and counting.

5. Bruce McLaren – 1962

24 years 9 months 4 days

Monaco proved to be a poignant location for Bruce McLaren, and not just because the New Zealander won the 1962 edition. Having qualified his Cooper T60 on the front row behind Jim Clark and Graham Hill, McLaren initially led the opening six laps before conceding the position to Hill.

Hill would win that year's title and eventually claim five Monaco Grand Prix victories, but luck was not on his side on this occasion as he retired with just eight laps remaining due to an engine failure. It allowed McLaren to win from the Ferrari's of reigning World Champion Phil Hill and Lorenzo Bandini.

Just four years later, McLaren would appear at the Monaco GP with a car bearing his own name for the first time having created the iconic team that would go on to claim 13 Drivers' and 10 Constructors' titles.

Sixty years later, McLaren celebrated its 1000th race at the 2026 edition of the Monaco Grand Prix.

4. Sebastian Vettel – 2011

23 years 10 months 26 days

Having had to follow behind Red Bull team mate Mark Webber as he claimed victory in the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel was intent on going one better 12 months later.

The reigning World Champion comfortably claimed pole position by nearly half a second and held the lead at the start, only conceding top spot through the pit stop sequence to Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button.

But with his two rivals on much fresher tyres, it looked like Vettel would come under attack in the closing stages until a red flag was deployed following a heavy crash for Vitaly Petrov's Renault. With all drivers able to change tyres under the stoppage, Vettel was left unchallenged at the restart as he took his fifth win from six races.

The German would claim another Monaco win in 2017 with Ferrari, having joined the Scuderia with four titles under his belt from Red Bull.

3. Max Verstappen – 2021

23 years 7 months 23 days

Having dropped off the calendar for the first time since 1954 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Monaco Grand Prix returned in 2021 as a titanic title fight between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton was in its infancy.

Hamilton travelled to Monaco having taken back-to-back wins in Portugal and Spain, with Verstappen trailing the seven-time World Champion by 14 points after only four rounds.

The Dutchman had yet to win on the streets of Monte Carlo and his task became even more difficult as he missed out on pole position to home hero Charles Leclerc, who set the fastest time before crashing on his next flying lap and bringing the session to an end.

But the crash would have lasting consequences, as the gearbox in Leclerc's repaired Ferrari gave out on the way to the grid for the race, leaving Verstappen alone on the front row.

The Red Bull driver led every lap on his way to victory by nine seconds from Carlos Sainz, with Hamilton down in seventh. The pair's title struggle ultimately went down to the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi.

2. Lewis Hamilton – 2008

23 years 4 months 18 days

Just half-a-tenth was the difference between Lewis Hamilton claiming his maiden pole position in Monaco and starting third for the 2008 edition of the race, with the McLaren driver lining up behind the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen.

But wet conditions on Sunday created uncertainty, and in Hamilton's case it very nearly ended his race as early as Lap 6 when the Briton slid into the barriers at Tabac and needed a pit stop to replace a punctured tyre.

Fuelled for a long second stint, Hamilton utilised his pace and headed for the pits again just as dry tyres were required, allowing him to emerge ahead of Massa, who had also lost time with a quick recovery spin at Sainte Devote.

Hamilton's victory meant he beat Bruce McLaren's record as the youngest Monaco race winner which had stood since 1962, with the Briton going on to win in the Principality on two further occasions for Mercedes.

1. Kimi Antonelli – 2026

19 years 9 months 13 days

Another weekend and more records broken for Kimi Antonelli, who extended his run of Grands Prix victories to five last weekend in Monaco.

The Italian also claimed his first Grand Slam with pole position, leading every lap and securing the fastest lap having dominated the 78-lap race.

Helped by Max Verstappen's Red Bull failing to get off the line at the start, Antonelli cruised at the front of the field before having to contend with a late restart following a red flag after Lance Stroll and then Charles Leclerc crashed at the final corner.

With standing starts being a weakness of Mercedes this season, there were doubts whether Antonelli could maintain his lead, but the 19-year-old held his nerve and his advantage to extend his lead in the Drivers' standings to 66 points after just six race weekends.
