For the 70th time in the history of Formula 1, the street circuit of Monaco will host a GP, which this time promises a lot of adrenaline due to possible cracks that Red Bull is beginning to show, especially because it means running on the streets of the Principality.

There will be 78 laps, with a total distance of 260.286 kilometers, and is configured as the eighth stop of the 2024 season, which keeps the Dutch Max Verstappen as the absolute leader of the competition, but with Ferrari and McLaren smelling blood.

At the wheel of his RB20 with a Honda RBPTH002 engine, Max Verstappen is, once again, showing the enormous capacity that has made him a three-time world champion.

The Dutchman won in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Japan, China, and Italy. However, this last triumph was special since, on the final stretch, the car failed, and he had to deploy all his capabilities to keep up with the onslaught of Lando Norris, McLaren driver.

The Red Bull pilot has 161 points, beating the Ferrari driver, the local Charles Leclerc, by 48 units.

Another goal for Max is to join the list of drivers who have won three times at the Monaco Grand Prix, together with Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Nico Rosberg, and Lewis Hamilton.

After the Dutch pilot, it’s the turn to talk about the local, Charles Leclerc, who is looking for his first win of the season after four podiums. His best result was second place in Australia and third place in Saudi Arabia, Miami, and Emilia-Romagna. He is indebted to Ferraribecause his teammate, Carlos Sainz Jr. was already on the top step of the podium.

But Leclerc, being a local in Monaco, has not been able to win on this street circuit, so he has a great opportunity in front of him to bring Ferrari closer to Red Bull. The third in discord is Lando Norris, who has been improving his level this season, thanks to McLaren making the necessary adjustments to make the car competitive, putting the team even above Mercedes.

Norris won for the first time in Formula 1 in Miami and came within a whisker of victory in Italy due to Verstappen’s car failure. Lando is fourth in the season with 101 points, just six points behind third, which is Mexico’s El Checo Perez. A good race could even allow him to be second.

Then we have to talk about Lando’s teammate at McLaren: the Australian Oscar Piastri, who has not given in to the pressure of not having much experience in the top category of world motorsport.

Last year was a good duo for Norris, and now he has scored 53 points, but with the prospect of continuing to climb positions. On three occasions, he has come close to a podium finish, which would be a success for his second year in F1.

Two other names to watch out for in this race are Carlos Sainz Jr. and “Checo” Perez. The Spaniard already knew how to win during the season, but his performance has been irregular because, in one race, he could not finish, another time, he was on the podium, and then he always finished in fifth position.

Checo continues to generate many doubts despite having the same car as Verstappen, his performance left him, for example, in eighth place in the last race. The Mexican gives the impression that he is decreasing.
