The McLaren driver secured his first race win since last year's Brazilian Grand Prix, while Antonelli maintained a comfortable lead at the top of the drivers' standings.
Starting second on the grid, Charles Leclerc finished fourth after initially crossing the line in fifth.
The Ferrari driver gained a place after team-mate Lewis Hamilton received a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
Leclerc admitted Ferrari's performance had fallen short of expectations at a circuit where the team had hoped to be among the frontrunners.
Speaking after the race, he said inconsistent handling throughout the different tyre stints made it difficult to understand the car's behaviour and left him unable to fight back after losing positions at the start.
The Monégasque also pointed to Ferrari's unpredictable form this season, noting that the team had performed strongly at circuits where it expected to struggle, only to disappoint in Hungary, where expectations had been much higher.
