Patrese: “Ferrari car to beat in Monaco, Leclerc wins ahead of Hamilton”

Will it really be a Ferrari double? Ferrari’s lack of victories that has lasted since the 2024 Mexican GP – a splendid success for Carlos Sainz with Max Verstappen in the role of pro Ferrari ‘spoiler’ for personal interests against Lando Norris – is numbered. At least, this is the feeling of Riccardo Patrese in view of the weekend when teams and drivers will be busy in the Principality for the Monaco GP: “At the moment, I think that Ferrari will be the best in Monaco – said Riccardo Patrese reached by the F1 Hospitality provider Vision4Sport which in partnership with the BWT Alpine team offers an exclusive Monaco yacht experience – also because even if they miss the pole position they can count on a ‘slingshot’ start thanks to the smaller turbo”. “Charles Leclerc will win ahead of Lewis Hamilton with George Russell completing the podium“, Patrese’s prediction for what would be a Ferrari one-two that would raise the prices of the Scuderia di Maranello while waiting to verify the possible leap in quality with the updates scheduled for the following week in Barcelona without forgetting the fact that through the ADUO the Scuderia di Maranello will be able to intervene on the power unit to improve its performance.
