    2026 - Race 6 (Monaco)

    My least favorite race.

    Hadjar is not off to a good start in FP1.

    Ferrari and Verstappen seem competitive through FP2.

    You may change your mind come Sunday. These narrower cars, coupled with battery power, could make this a race where overtaking is easier for change. A non-Mercedes win is very much on the cards if the two Ferraris do not take each other out. It promises to be a more interesting race than usual with these new regulation cars.

    Who is your money on to win it?

    This has always been one of my favourite races .

    And , this one , with Kimi on pole , Mad Max looking to win it in the first corner , and two quick starting red cars just behind going into a tight right a short trot down the road , it looks to be an epic example of this race .

    That's just the first corner of the first lap .

    I'm loving it .

    I hope this race is more interesting than usual.

    My money is on Lewis - he blows by Max and Kimi at turn 1 and never looks back.

    Hadjar had a nice recovery from his crash.

    Zach Brown team is headed in the wrong direction.

    For a reg set that some claimed was horrible, that was another great qually session. The new cars look a lot more nimble around Monaco.

    I wasn't sure he could do it after Max put in his final lap, but Kimi rose to the challenge and put in a blazing lap. He's got to be deep in George's head by now.

    I just hope the race isn't the borefest it often is. I would say that with the three directly behind him all it will take is one slip from Kimi to give away this race win. And Ferrari might be able to split strategy to be in the right position to take advantage of any drama. Lewis seemed solid to this point, and Charles just pushed it a little bit too far on that last one.

    Hadjar has been investigated so many times in this race, I think he is going to finish 23rd.

    Maybe he is and maybe he isn't but, does it really matter? Nelli is obviously more talented than Russ so he doesn't need The psychological advantage.

    Monaco is producing some great memes.
