Next stop Monte Carlo After the hard-fought race in Canada, which saw the victory of Andrea Kimi Antonelli on Mercedes ahead of Lewis Hamilton on Ferrari and Max Verstappen on Red Bull, the next Formula 1 event will be in Monaco on 7 June.
The Principality track remains a unique stage in the calendar and there is curiosity to understand how the 2026 single-seaters will adapt to the tortuous circuit rich in history and glamour. Ferrari favorite at the Monaco GP? In the statements reported by the Germans of Auto, Motor und Sport, from McLaren, they are certain: Ferrari will be the favorite team for Monte Carlo, given the strengths of the SF-26.
Lando Norris said it in his statements at the end of the race in Montreal and team principal Andrea Stella reiterated it: “Analyzing the GPS data, it is clear that the Ferrari is very competitive in the corners. We also saw it in Montreal in the first sector and the Ferrari loses most of the time on the straights. There aren’t many of them in Monaco: this is why Lando is right to consider Ferrari the favorite for pole position in Monaco.” Stella sees the race in the Principality like this: “With so many hard braking points, the drivers will have no problem recharging their batteries. Our McLaren adapts better to slow corners, rather than medium or fast ones. Ferrari and Mercedes have an advantage in this area. I see Ferrari as the favourite, but McLaren should also be competitive – the slow corners in Monaco are extremely slow, especially in the second sector.” Click here to add Formula Passion as your favorite source on Google Discover: you will find our content more easily!
