Max Verstappen stalled on the grid from second place at the start of the Monaco Grand Prix and was forced to retire, recording a DNF on lap one. Pole-sitter and championship leader Kimi Antonelli held the lead into the opening lap with Lewis Hamilton starting third. Verstappen's immediate exit removes a major title contender and hands rivals a crucial points opportunity in a tight championship fight. That matters because Monaco's narrow streets make passing difficult, so lost points here can be decisive for the season outcome.
