In Monaco, on an urban circuit where overtaking opportunities are scarce and where pole is more important than elsewhere, it is difficult to imagine victory slipping through the fingers of a Max Verstappen who has already won three Grands Prix, and who will start from first place on Sunday 28 May. Especially since the Red Bulls outrageously dominate this 2023 Formula 1 season.
Nevertheless, the route of the Principality circuit on which the single-seaters will set off is also known to push the drivers to their limits. He forces them to flirt with the limits, sometimes at the risk of making mistakes and breaking up. On the heels of the reigning world champion, Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin, 2nd on the grid) and Esteban Ocon (Alpine, 3rd) are the best placed at the start to take advantage of the slightest error.
