“Max Verstappen is human too“, the Monaco qualifications seem to scream. With a RB20 not perfectly balanced for bumps and curbs of the Principality, neither the Dutch nor Sergio Perez (even 18th) manage to reach the front row. In the most complicated Grand Prix of the season, where a good Saturday is fundamental, Red Bull will start at a disadvantage.
Greedy opportunity for the rivals, starting from Ferrari. In Imola it was said: the updates worked, you just need to be patient. It didn’t take long to see the first Ferrari pole position of the year, as well as the first not signed by Max Verstappen. There SF-24 takes first and third place on Saturday in Monegasque, aiming for his second victory of the season.

Closest rivals will be the two McLarens. The Woking team continues to amaze, after the victory in Miami and the near-comeback in Imola. There MCL38 updated, it is a car that can achieve victories and the feeling is that, depending on the circuit, it will be an open challenge between them, Red Bull And Ferrari. It will be in Munich Oscar Piastri starting alongside Charles Leclerc and the very first meters of the race will be decisive.
Monte Carlo hosts a race that can, to all intents and purposes, reopen the World Championship. If not the pilots, where Max Verstappen maintains (and will maintain) a large and manageable advantage, at least the manufacturers. At 3pm the start of the most tense Grand Prix of the year, which will keep all fans glued to the television.
