Charles Leclerc in Monaco he will start from Pole, to try to grasp what was missing on the two previous occasions in his career, namely victory or at least the podium. In fact, it is known that the Monegasque has a particular relationship with his home race. All the momentum from Monaco, all the support is for Charles. Qualifying reiterated how even the smallest detail can make the difference between a Pole and a sixth place. With his performance, Charles Leclerc in fact interrupted Max Verstappen's streak of consecutive poles, not fully satisfied with the behavior of his RB20. Max wasn't the only one to have problems at Red Bull. In fact, if Max had difficulties and didn't go beyond P6, Perez did much worse by not even passing the Q1 cut. However, the Mexican will be able to move up two positions compared to yesterday's qualifying following the disqualification of the two Haas. So let's see how the starting grid for the Monaco GP changes.
Leclerc for the victory, Red Bull for not losing too many points
Coming off the back of a year of absolute domination by the Austrian team, it is difficult to imagine a scenario in which neither Red Bull would get on the podium in Monaco. But considering the pace of McLaren and Ferrari and the difficulties in overtaking in Monaco it wouldn't be so strange. Both Ferrari and McLaren bring both drivers into the first two rows. Scoring points today is very important, given the nature of the track. Leclerc is looking for victory, but it will also be important to keep Norris and Verstappen behind to win more important points from a constructors' perspective.

We know that Monaco is a track in itself, a weekend that we should separate from the others because of how unique it is. From Miami, however, a different championship seems to have truly begun, it must be recognized. In fact, those in Monaco are not the first difficulties for Red Bull which did not dominate as usual in Imola. Whether this changes further over the course of the season will depend on the race for developments which have currently allowed McLaren and Ferrari to get closer.
The starting grid of the Monaco GP
Compared to qualifying, the starting grid for the Monaco GP underwent changes following the disqualification of the two Haas who will start from P19 and P20 after having conquered P12 and P15. Those who benefited from this were above all the drivers who did not pass Q1, who moved up two positions.
