Kimi Antonelli has branded Ferrari the front-runners for the Monaco Grand Prix, detailing a specific factor he feels will be vital.
Kimi Antonelli has pointed out why he believes Ferrari will be the “team to beat” at the Monaco Grand Prix, focusing on a specific advantage the Scuderia possesses. Despite Mercedes driver’s recent success winning four consecutive grands prix, he anticipates a tough challenge to continue the streak on Monaco’s streets. Antonelli struggled in Monaco last year, facing a tumultuous weekend symbolic of his European leg struggles, which he must overcome for this season’s title contention. With a 43-point lead over George Russell, the 19-year-old is in a strong position, although his teammate’s bad luck skews the championship’s competitive landscape. The expectation is for Ferrari to secure their first victory of the season in Monaco, leveraging their cornering prowess and turbo advantage. Antonelli concurs, noting the downforce benefit from Ferrari’s rear winglet, making them the ones to watch. While acknowledging Ferrari’s potential advantage, Antonelli remains determined to give his best performance and strive for the optimal outcome over the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
