Charles Leclerc, Ferrari

For Charles Leclerc and the Ferrari team, a return to the home track could come at a better time. He slipped down the F1 standings, dropping Sunday’s Pirelli Spanish Grand Prix. With Max Verstappen holding all the momentum. To make matters worse, Leclerc doesn’t even have a history of reaching the podium in the Monaco GP. However, the odds are heavily stacked in his favor starting in first with Verstappen in the fourth pole position.

Max Verstappen, Red Bull

A trend is emerging during the 2022 F1 season. When Max Verstappen finishes a race, he wins. The reigning F1 champion won at Monaco last year and he stands a great chance to repeat in 2022. Based on Leclerc’s poor fortunes and how well Verstappen is driving right now, picking the winner feels easy. Of course, that changes thanks to the pole positioning on Sunday. Those who bet on Verstappen early aren’t feeling as good right now

Carlos Sainz Jr, Ferrari

Leclerc and Verstappen are the overwhelming favorites to win GP Monaco. Part of the reason is that Sainz Jr is struggling right now, as his father described. Things didn’t get better last weekend, finish fourth behind Verstappen, Pérez and Russell. Until he figures things out, there’s no reason to think we’ll see him finish second, let alone first.
