Monaco is a unique track with a history of being a one-off race that shakes up the usual order. Power advantage will mean less (Mercedes loses advantage) and aero efficiency also means less (usually an advantage for the Newey designs, i.e., Red Bull), but despite this I gotta stick with what got me here.
I’m thinking Hammy will start to run off at the start but make a mistake and crash, Alonso will get the lead in the pit stops and Vettel will fight with Nico, but not be able to pass or get advantage in the pits. Riccardo 4th.

Kevin is looking good for the race too, stay tuned and good luck.
First race I’ve seen all year. Not great, but not bad either. Kind of fun to watch Vettel act like an entitled dooshbaby, stoked to see Ricciardo doing well.
Not sure why DirecTV doesn’t even see the races in the search results…
