With the sporting event dates released for 23-26 May 2024, Monaco is preparing to open its doors on the 81st edition as the world-famous Monaco Grand Prix returns to Monte Carlo for fast and furious fun.
Preview:
Leclerc had appeared to be in a league of his own as he cruised to the top of the timesheet in the final two practice sessions, but it quickly became apparent in qualifying that his task wouldn’t be simple.
The Monegasque appeared to be feeling the pressure in Q1 as he complained over team radio about Ferrari’s decision to run out of sync with the other cars, leaving him exposed to traffic. His cause was not helped when he was forced to pit after a piece of a hoarding got stuck in his front wing.
Leclerc in Pole –
The pole was Ferrari’s 250th as an F1 constructor and the 24th of Leclerc’s career, which saw him surpass Niki Lauda to have the most poles for the Italian team after Michael Schumacher.
Verstappen still a threat –
Despite struggling with his car throughout practice, as had been the case before he took pole and won in Imola a week ago, Verstappen still posed a major threat to Leclerc.
Aside from a flying Piastri, the Dutchman appeared the most likely driver to deny the home favourite, with his position after the first runs in Q3 proving as much.
Our Picks:
Winner – Charles Leclerc @1/3
After a great weekend so far we expect that to continue with a win from the front.
Podium – Max Verstappen @6/4
Even when the odds are against him he shows up and causes problems, a podium place at plus odds for the dominant one seems like free money… hopefully.
Podium – Lewis Hamilton @8/1
Huge value in this pick, Lewis has had a good weekend, and he loves it at Monaco so why not.
