Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix 2023: What to expect

Increasing his lead in the 2023 F1 Championship, thanks to a strong performance in the Miami Grand Prix, Max Verstappen is ahead of his teammate Sergio Perez in the standings. Perez, who finished second in the previous round, is 14 points behind the defending Drivers' Champion. Fernando Alonso, who has interestingly secured 15 points per round in all five rounds of the 2023 season so far, is in third at 75 points.

Although Scuderia Ferrari has delivered better performances in the previous two rounds than at the start of the season, the team will hope to use its home advantage to improve and catch up to Mercedes and Aston Martin. Monaco is also the home race of Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, who will hope to finally secure the first home win of his career.

The Monaco Grand Prix also marks the start of the European Formula 1 calendar, with most of the next few races taking place at historic, purpose-built motor racing circuits across Europe. As mentioned, Monaco is a street circuit, taking place at the Circuit de Monaco. The circuit is known to be tight and very difficult to overtake on, where race strategy and careful driving play a key role in performing well in the race.
