The Formula 1 championship standings have been updated following the Monaco Grand Prix, with Kimi Antonelli taking victory around the iconic Monte Carlo streets.
Championship leader Antonelli now sits on 156 points, with Mercedes teammate George Russell now overtaken by Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton for P2, and even further behind in the title battle after a penalty-ridden race saw him finish P13.
Hometown hero Charles Leclerc had seen his place in the standings also leapfrogged by teammate Hamilton, after crashing upon a Safety Car restart and bringing out a 30-minute Red Flag.
Meanwhile, Max Verstappen has also been handed a huge blow in the Drivers' standings, after the Dutchman stalled and then retired on the opening lap of the Grand Prix.

Cadillac seemed to have scored their first ever points in F1 following a penalty for Nico Hulkenberg, with Sergio Perez crossing the line in P10, but a first point of the season will instead go to Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso after Perez received a ten-second penalty for a false start.
