You know what? For Monaco? That was not too bad!

In what was the best Monaco Grand Prix in a while, Mercedes and Kimi Antonelli upset expectations and pulled a fast one Ferrari...literally. Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen had races to forget whilst Pierre Gasly was crushed by the FIA's chaotic pitlane speed trap! All in all, it was an F1 race around Monte Carlo which interested us more than expected.

Who else won, lost or were just plain meh?

Audi and Williams both pointed at 2030 this week but only one of them sounded like they meant it.

Mattia Binotto's Audi has its own engine to work on and claims 2030 will be their year. Meanwhile, James Vowles is four years into the Williams rebuild, running the best power unit on the grid and pointing at the exact same year...but his read is not being received as favourably. Why is that though?

Even Carlos Sainz admitted his faith got tested before he talked himself back round...and as for Alex Albon? How long will he wait until perhaps Audi, Aston or Alpine might win his heart?

In committing to Charles, Ferrari's solved NOTHING.

Scuderia Ferrari gave Leclerc his THIRD deal with them, keeping him with the F1 team possibly into the 2030s...or 2028. Nobody really knows. And I don't think Ferrari knows where it's at right now. It's gone long-term with their Formula 1 hero but there's Lewis Hamilton eschewing their own simulator and getting results too. What does this Formula One force do with their present situation?

One thing is for sure, giving the man down on his luck right now a contract won't answer their immediate question...which driver do they back? Or does it even matter given their engine is weak. So many questions.

This weekend was made for Ferrari, almost literally.

As the 2027 regulations fall over themselves, Ferrari's found itself in a situation where the conditions for the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix in terms of the controversial F1 engines for this year COULD be to their advantage. Mercedes are nerfed for one night only and this could be a chance for either Charles Leclerc or Lewis Hamilton might get one over their rivals before the ADUO comes to help them...or not.

Let's discuss that as well as who could win this weekend's race and how I did last race in Montreal?

I'm not calling a full-on intra-team drama yet...but the contract might hint toward it.

Mercedes re-signed both drivers last October and everyone read it the same way. Russell the senior man, Antonelli the project...but for only 2026...Now the reporting since suggests two very different deals in the same garage.

Whilst the Verstappen door everyone watched looks shut, the leverage that door created is still sitting right there in the Mercedes paperwork. What does Toto do with a leash he no longer strictly needs?
