Kimi Antonelli took a dominant victory in the Monaco Grand Prix ahead of the Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton after a chaotic ending that featured two safety cars and a red flag.

The 19-year-old Italian's fifth win in a row, in combination with a dire race for Mercedes team-mate George Russell, who finished 13th and out of the points, puts him in total control of the championship.

Antonelli leads Hamilton by 66 points, with Russell now down to third, two points further adrift.

Russell dropped to the back from third place because of a drive-through penalty that he had to serve when the field was compressed two laps after the restart.

We can't call that a boring Monaco Grand Prix, surely? There are still investigations going on for the likes of Isack Hadjar, who finished on the podium in third but was pulled for a red-flag infringement, so keep an eye on the BBC Sport website for any updates tonight.

Can anyone stop Kimi Antonelli? Well, after round six, the title fight may now be between the teenage Italian and the old master, Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion has matched Ayrton Senna's eight podiums in the Principality and now sits second in the championship.

George Russell, meanwhile, will hope his run of bad luck has finally come to an end, after a second race weekend on the bounce without any points on the board.

Pierre Gasly is chatting to Sky Sports and the Frenchman is absolutely gutted with how the race ended. He was third on the road but fell to seventh because of penalties and missed a chance to take another career podium.

There is a chance to regroup straightaway for those drivers who had a miserable Monte Carlo, though - and there were plenty - as we're heading to Barcelona next week, 12-14 June.

Thanks for joining us, folks. Come back on Friday for first practice at 12:30 BST.

See you soon!

Race winner Kimi Antonelli talking to Sky Sports: "It's an incredible moment to live. Of course it's still a long season and still many races to go and every race weekend is going to be a new experience but so far it's been great. With the team, we've been doing an incredible job, we've been really good at executing things, not getting carried away by the moment, just really trying to focus on what's ahead and trying to execute it in the best way possible.

"I think this weekend we did really well on that side. The turnaround the team did with the set-up was pretty significant and that allowed me to have even more confidence in the car."

On the pressure of the standing start: "I tried to embrace the pressure as much as possible because I don't want to let the pressure destroy me, like it did last year in the European season, so of course I try to embrace the pressure, the challenge and I try to enjoy it as much as possible without worrying about anything else other than just driving. It was a good a test today because with the red flag, I'm not going to lie, I was a bit annoyed because getting the mindset back into redoing a full start was not easy but it was a good test on that side and I didn't fail."

George Russell talking to Sky Sports after finishing P13 at the Monaco Grand Prix: "Firstly, I'm not too sure why we got a penalty because I was on the pit limiter before the line. I released it after the line but clearly there's a problem in the software and many drivers got penalties. Five seconds, not ideal but not the end of the world. Then in the pit stops, major confusion and getting a drive-through. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. P3 down to P14."

On his conversation with the stewards during the race suspension: "I asked can we review it afterwards because if I serve the drive-through now the race is done and I was willing to serve the five-second penalty on the following lap, I had a 20-second gap behind me to Gasly. I probably gained 0.1 of a second in the pit lane with that software glitch and ended up losing 12 seconds because of it."

On what the stewards said to him: "'Rules are the rules, if you don't serve the penalty it's a drive-through. I don't really know what to say. It's two races in a row. Could have won the race last week, could have maybe had P3 or P4 today. That's 40 points down the drain for things outside of my control."

Kimi Antonelli's winning streak are all the points Mercedes need to stay ahead of their rivals in the constructors' championship. The Silver Arrows are 79 points clear of Ferrari and 126 points free of third-placed McLaren.

With double points in the bag in Monte Carlo, Racing Bulls in sixth are now just two points behind fifth-placed Alpine after six rounds of racing.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff speaking to Sky Sports: "It was my first podium for 10 years or so. One part of me feels so happy for Kimi, but the look on George's face, he had a weekend that was not good so I need to keep it balanced emotionally and pick the team up going to Barcelona. This has often been a bogey track for us, the last time we won here was 2019."

On Kimi Antonelli: "It's unbelievable what he is able to deliver, having control, he's quicker than anybody else, restarts, he builds the gap."

On George Russell: "We just need to keep going, it is a long championship. Montreal, we let him down, this is a long championship."

On not serving the five-second penalty correctly: "We had confusion on the strategy and we didn't hold him for five seconds and we missed out on P3 or P4. It is a shame."

Red Bull's Isack Hadjar who finished the Monaco Grand Prix in third: "We got off to a clean start, managing the race and within the first 10-15 laps I started having massive drivability issues around here. If there is one track that you don't want want that it is here. It was incredibly challenging having to cover 60 laps like that. Even towards the end, I was still lacking power on the restart."

On the red flag and getting back into the race: "Honestly, my restart, I felt like I had a good start and then suddenly I lost two places, but I knew the cars ahead had penalties but I had limited power and I never had to send it that much in my life, through the corners to stay within five seconds of Pierre. It is an outstanding weekend considering how it started in FP1, I had no confidence to get back up but we did it so I am happy."

Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, who finished second in Monaco: "I have to start by congratulating Kimi and the Mercedes team. My old family they've done it again, they've delivered an amazing car and Kimi's doing an incredible job delivering week in, week out. It's great to see and I'm really happy for them.

"On our side we've been progressing over the past few months and can't quite keep up with them just yet and it's probably going to take a lot of work for us to get to their level but to get another second place is such a great feeling especially in Monaco under the tricky conditions, it was the hardest conditions out there but we've had such a great turnout today. I'll take it."

On the trickiest condition in the race today: "I think for me it's the car. The car is good but we need more downforce ultimately. I think with the tyres, with the different scenarios we had out there I ran out of tyres quite early in the first stint and then I was on the long second stint and these tyres aren't great over a long stint, holding on to that was going to be tough.

"Once we had to slow down for the safety car we lost all temperature, you saw for other drivers it was really hard to stay on track. with all the different things thrown at us it was massively challenging."

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli who has won the Monaco Grand Prix: "It's been an incredible weekend, an incredible race. It was one of those days where we had incredible pace. It was just coming all so natural. The car was feeling incredible and was just giving me the confidence to push. It was a very enjoyable day. The job isn't finished. It's still a long season. We are going to keep pushing and keep raising the bar. The goal is to keep performing like this. The team has done an incredible job. They have given us an incredible car. I've got so much support from the team and my family, it's a really good moment."

On the restart and nothing phasing him: "To be fair, I wasn't super keen on restarting. I didn't really want to restart but then once the notification came out I just gathered my emotions, thoughts and started to focus again, looked at some data and so on and tried to refocus on restarting. I tried to get the tyres into the right temperature. Once I got away, I knew I would make it into the first corner and from that point on I enjoyed the last few laps."

Champagne momentpublished at 16:50 BST

Kimi Antonelli, Lewis Hamilton and Isack Hadjar are chatting while watching the highlights. "The amount of marbles on track was insane," says Italian Antonelli.

Hadjar must be bursting inside with the thought of sharing a podium with his idol Hamilton.

The top three shake hands with Prince Albert and Princess Charlene on the podium while Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull watch on below. The camera also pans to Kim Kardashian. The photographers will be desperate to get a shot of them smooching.

The Italian national anthem rings out in Monaco in honour of race winner Antonelli - but don't dare spray Princess Charlene with champagne.

Engineer: "Bravo bravo, that's P3. Nice work"

Hadjar: "Oh my god why does it have to be so difficult"

Engineer: "You were worked hard for that one, we threw everything at you"

That was Kimi Antonelli's fifth straight win of the season and now he has extended his title advantage at the top of the drivers' championship to 66 points.

However, it's not George Russell who is second in the standings now - it's Lewis Hamilton.

Russell's P13 finish drops him below his former team-mate Hamilton and into third place.

And the FIA has given us a stat: Antonelli is the youngest ever Monaco Grand Prix winner.

"At just 19 years, 9 months and 13 days old, he breaks Lewis Hamilton’s previous record from 2008 (23 years, 4 months and 18 days)."

The trio have reached the cooldown room and Hamilton jokes with the teenager: "That's too many wins now, buddy!"

Hamilton: "Great job guys. Sorry I couldn't get the win in the end, they just had the upper hand on us this weekend. Mega result"

Oscar Piastri is fourth, but we'll have to wait to see what the outcome of Isack Hadjar's red-flag infringement investigation is. The Australian won't be on the podium now, Frenchman Hadjar will be, but he might be able to pop some late champagne on a yacht tonight.

Liam Lawson is fifth and Arvid Lindblad is sixth, picking up some great points for Racing Bulls. Gasly is seventh, Alex Albon is eighth, Esteban Ocon finishes ninth for Haas and Sergio Perez, if he doesn't get penalised post-race, will collect Cadillac's first point in Formula 1 in 10th.

Engineer: "Get in there Kimi! Nice work pal! That was a masterclass. First Monaco win"

Antonelli: "Ah oh my god!"

Engineer: "Bit tense at the end there but what a great job"

Antonelli: "Thank you so much guys, car was a beast today. My goodness, thank you so much!"
