Norris' Dream Achieved

Briton ticks Monaco GP in his childhood wish list to be 3pts behind leader Piastri

- 

MONACO - Lando Norris won a highly strategic Monaco Grand Prix from pole position on May 25 to slash McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri's Formula One lead to three points.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished runner-up in his home race which he won last season, with Piastri third and Red Bull's Max Verstappen fourth - all four finishing in the same order they started.

The race featured two mandatory pit stops for the first time. But hopes of more action around the famed harbour-side circuit fell short, with drivers playing a waiting game and Norris ultimately lapping all but four cars on his way to a first Monaco victory.

"It feels amazing. It's a long, grueling race, but good fun. We could push for much of the race. The last quarter was stressful with Charles behind and Max ahead," said the Briton.

"This is what I dreamt of when I was a kid, so I achieved one of my dreams.

"The worst bit was the end. I felt quite under control the whole race, but Max was backing it up a little bit and I knew Charles had opportunities.
