Norris wins in Monaco to slash Piastri's F1 lead

ANDREJ ISAKOVIC/ AFP

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

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

The race featured two mandatory pitstops for the first time but hopes of more action around the harbourside 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.
