The question is whether the drivers will stay dry in the principality – check the weather forecast for the Monaco GP here.

The weather in Monaco can be quite unpredictable. In recent years, we have witnessed a real water ballet on the narrow streets of the city-state. However, in the past two years, Max Verstappen and company raced under dry conditions, with the victory going successively to home hero Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris. Interesting detail: in the last ten editions, no driver has managed to win the crown jewel twice in a row. That does not bode well for Norris. According to experts, Leclerc, on the other hand, has an excellent chance; Ferrari is expected to perform well on the twisty street circuit.
