In the eighth round of the 2024 Formula One season, there is a sense that a proper title battle may yet be possible after Lando Norris pushed Max Verstappen all the way at Imola last time out.
Sergio Perez certainly doesn’t look capable of challenging his Red Bull teammate after dropping to third in the F1 Drivers’ Championship rankings, behind Charles Leclerc.
In fact, there are just 20 points separating second and fifth whereas Verstappen stands 48 points clear of Leclerc.
Red Bull have enjoyed their trips to Monaco over the years, winning four of the last five races in the Principality.
