The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix came to an end on the 19th May, and Formula 1 fans are already predicting the win of the Monaco Grand Prix taking place this coming Sunday, the 26th May.
Anticipating the victory by the Formula 1 enthusiasts as well as bookmakers is difficult for the Monaco Grand Prix 2024 season due to the tough competition going on. In this article, we’ll be shedding some light on the win prediction of the season alongside Red Bull Racing’s dominance. Moreover, we’ll discuss Yuki Tsunoda’s success which could spell trouble for Daniel Ricciardo’s prospects, potentially altering the trajectory of his career at Red Bull. Let’s delve into further details:
Verstappen leads Norris and Leclerc in Imola victory
Max Verstappen— a triple World Champion— failed to finish Australia a few weeks ago and the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was his for the taking. He started off great with full control of his car and claimed his fifth win from the first seven grands prix of the season.
Verstappen finished the race just under one second ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris with third placed man Charles Leclerc trailing in the distance. Verstappen also told the media that Imola was one of his favourite circuits in the world and we have clearly seen him enjoying the race and celebrating his third win in a row in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Hamilton faces an uphill battle in 2024
Lewis Hamilton and his victories are very well known to Formula 1 enthusiasts as this 7-time World Champion has multiple victories and awards in his arsenal. However, despite his illustrious F1 career and multiple dominant performances in previous seasons, Hamilton finds himself in a challenge in Grand Prix 2024.
Lewis Hamilton, in his recent talk to the media, has declared this 2024 Grand Prix as one of “Worst Start F1 Seasons” of all time. A few weeks ago at Suzuka, Hamilton took his Mercedes off the track at Turn 10 due to a reported “Engine Failure” on the radio. He even called this season worse than 2009, and we can feel the pain!
He and his teammates were all set to perform this season, but unfortunately, Mercedes is not taking their side. The total loss of the power unit has been reported upon investigation by the Mercedes team, causing a premature exit of Mercedes at the start of the season.
Ferrari shines with Sainz and Leclerc
Carlos Sainz is performing extraordinarily this season, and the Ferrari’s team boss is happy. Sainz, who already won the Australian Grand Prix 2024, secured a brilliant third position on the podium in Japan. Both Sainz’s consistency and Leclerc’s extraordinary comeback have contributed towards the Scuderia having one of its best starts to a season for a long time.
Carlos Sainz also seemed to be unexpectedly happy at his third place in Japan which was surprising for him. Sainz told the media at Suzuka Circuit that it was a good race and even the weather was favouring him. He further added, “I had to take a lot of turns during the race, and overtaking was tricky.”
Tsunoda’s success could spell trouble for Ricciardo’s prospects
Daniel Ricciardo’s qualifying deficit to teammate Yuki Tsunoda has been huge this season. He even tried to finish close later in Suzuka but failed. Tsunoda has out-qualified Ricciardo 6-1 this season, and the average gap lies at 4.75 places separating both on the grid.
Moreover, Yuki Tsunoda has some heat going on with Daniel Ricciardo and the frustration appeared at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Tsunoda erupts in anger during the race using harsh language on the radio and then narrowly avoiding contact with Ricciardo after the race. However, upon asking Tsunoda said, “We talked about the incident after the race and we’re still on the same page”.
Is it safe to expect that Red Bull finishes 1-2?
The Monaco Grand Prix is around the corner, and Formula 1 enthusiasts, alongside bookmakers, are trying to speculate the winning positions. One of the major questions is: Will Red Bull finish 1-2? The recent performance and confidence of the Red Bull team is a representation of their capabilities, but still, F1 is an unpredictable sport.
Where making speculations and decoding the race outcome is hard, the bookmakers can predict the winnings in this motorsport event. Bookmakers are trying to find out who’ll secure the last podium spot between Ferrari and McLaren. Do you also want to be a part of Formula 1 sports betting?
