Flying teenager Kimi Antonelli has taken pole position at Monaco with a last-gasp "magic lap" but Oscar Piastri is resigned to being a bit player in F1's most garlanded race after McLaren struggled in their 1000th grand prix .
The 19-year-old Mercedes ace Antonelli took pole by just 0.043sec on Saturday, powering around the famed street circuit to edge out two all-time greats, Max Verstappen (1min 12.094sec) in his Red Bull, and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton (1:12.279).
Antonelli saved his inspired best for last to ensure Mercedes have taken pole for every grand prix this season, and the young championship leader couldn't stop beaming.
