Red Bull Racing’s domaintion of F1 has seemingly come to an end with Ferrari and McLaren having both caught up.
Last weekend, Max Verstappen only just held on against a fast-charging Lando Norris in the closing laps to win.
It was a result that owed a lot to Verstappen’s brilliance as a driver, dragging an ill-tempered car to top spot.
That followed the Miami Grand Prix where Red Bull Racing was beaten on sheer pace by McLaren.
And so we head to Monaco with renewed hope of a competitive weekend and, for one, without the certainty that Verstappen will win.
McLaren has improved its low and medium speed performance while Ferrari has been within reach of Red Bull Racing since the season started.
As always around the streets of the principality, it will come down to single lap pace on Saturday; whoever qualifies best will have a significant advantage heading into the race.
The long race weather forecast threatens rain on Friday and Saturday before clearing for race day. How might that impact proceedings?
It promises to be a very enthralling Monaco Grand Prix, a race Oscar Piastri has a very real shot at winning.
