Lewis Hamilton is closing in on Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc in the F1 standings as the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix takes centre stage this afternoon (Sunday June 7).

The 41-year-old British superstar endured a miserable first season in Maranello, being soundly beaten by Leclerc in what turned into an awful campaign.

2026 has started much better for Hamilton though, and he is just three points behind the Monegasque after his best result yet for the Scuderia - a terrific second place in Canada last time out.

Hamilton also has the edge over Leclerc going into this afternoon's race - he will start from P3 on the grid, just ahead of Leclerc (P4).

At the front of the Drivers' standings the brilliant Italian teenager Kimi Antonelli is out in front after claiming victories in each of the last four races. He will also start today's race on pole as he looks to become the youngest ever Monaco Grand Prix winner.
