Po dramatičnem koncu sobotnih kvalifikacij za VN Monaka je postalo jasno, da bo iz pole positiona dirko začel Kimi Antonelli in da mu bo družbo v prvi startni vrsti delal Max Verstappen . Ta se je v trenutku, ko so ugasnile rdeče luči, začel premikati s polžjo hitrostjo in po radijski zvezi vprašal, kaj naj naredi. "Prosim, pripelji ga domov," je bil odgovor, Nizozemec pa je v tretjem od 78 krogov končal najprestižnejšo dirko sezone.
Vodilni dirkač prvenstva je odlično izkoristil prvi startni položaj in imel po nekaj krogih štiri sekunde prednosti pred Lewisom Hamiltonom , za britanskim zvezdnikom pa je vozil moštveni kolega Charles Leclerc . Ferrarija sta sicer začela iz druge startne vrste.
Drugi odstop smo dočakali v 18. od 78 krogov, ko je zaradi težav z zavorami v garažo zapeljal Valtteri Bottas . V ospredju se medtem ni veliko dogajalo, po dobri tretjini dirke je imel Antonelli že več kot 10 sekund prednosti pred Hamiltonom, ta pa je vozil šest sekund pred domačinom Leclercom. Najbolj zanimivo je bilo v boju za četrto mesto, kjer je konstanten pritisk na Isacka Hadjarja vršil George Russell .
Postanki v boksih so prinesli nekaj sprememb. Hadjar se je na stezo vrnil za hrbtom Russlla, njega in Hamiltona pa so kaznovali s petsekundnim pribitkom zaradi prehitre vožnje v boksih. V 38. krogu je pnevmatike zamenjal tudi Antonelli, ki se je na ulice Monte Carla vrnil z udobno prednostjo 12 sekund in pol pred Ferrarijema.
Kimi Antonelli FOTO: AP Potem ko so v prvem delu glamurozne preizkušnje odstopili Verstappen, Bottas in Oliver Bearman , je 46. krog prinesel četrto slovo. "Odpelji v bokse in končaj z dirko," je bilo navodilo, ki ga je zaradi težav z napajalno enoto dobil aktualni prvak Lando Norris .
V 60. krogu je na stezo zapeljal varnostni avto, saj je Lance Stroll tik pred uvozom v bokse trčil v ograjo. Pri Ferrariju so postanek v boksih izkoristili za izbris Hamiltonove kazni, s tem pa je priborjene sekunde izgubil Leclerc, ki je bil nad dejstvom, da bi moral za drugo mesto na dirki po tej odločitvi prehiteti moštvenega kolega, razburjen.
Charles Leclerc FOTO: AP Precej slabo so se odzvali pri Mercedesu, kjer je Antonelli izgubil nekaj sekund, Russell pa je ob povratku na stezo zaostal za Hadjarjem. Nekaj trenutkov zatem, ko je varnostni avto zapustil stezo, je ponovno zaplapolala rumena zastava, v zid zadnjega ovinka je namreč trčil Leclerc in 12 krogov pred koncem nesrečno sklenil domačo dirko. Njegov dirkalnik so hitro odstranili, kljub temu pa je rdeča zastava ustavila dirko, saj je na mestu, kjer sta trčila tako Stroll kot Leclerc, prišlo do poškodb asfalta oziroma steze.
Med dolgo prekinitvijo so organizatorji preverili nekaj spornih situacij in podelili par kazni, najhujša pa je doletela že tako nesrečnega Russlla. Njegova ekipa se ob menjavi pnevmatik ni odločila za odslužitev prvotne petsekundne kazni, tako da so ga dodatno kaznovali z vožnjo skozi bokse, kar je ob ponovitvi starta za Britanca pomenilo, da bo dirko skoraj zagotovo sklenil brez osvojenih točk.
Po novem klasičnem startu se je v zadnjih osem krogov spet najbolje podal Antonelli, tik za njim je vozil Hamilton, Russell pa odslužil kazen in padel na 14. mesto. Mladi Italijan si je do ciljne črte privozil šest sekund prednosti pred drugim Hamiltonom in postal najmlajši zmagovalec v zgodovini VN Monaka, kot tretji pa je končal Hadjar.
