F1 2026 Monaco Grand Prix this weekend - can anyone stop Antonelli

[Wendy5]

Kimi Antonelli leads the 2026 F1 Drivers Championship by 43 points over teammate George Russell after winning the Canadian Grand Prix in dominant fashion, his fourth consecutive victory. Russell retired from Canada with a power unit issue. Charles Leclerc sits 56 points back in third. Monaco is the sixth round this season and Ferrari historically excel on the streets of Monte Carlo. Leclerc has a real chance of ending Mercedes' winning run this weekend.

Antonelli winning four in a row as a rookie is jaw dropping. This kid is the real deal and the championship lead is already substantial enough that he can afford a bad weekend

Ferrari and Leclerc at Monaco is the obvious narrative and it is backed by actual data. The circuit suits their car and Charles has lived on those streets his whole life

Russell retiring from Canada while leading or close to the lead hurts. That gap to Antonelli might have been 20 points instead of 43 without the power unit failure

Verstappen third at Canada despite Red Bull clearly not having the fastest car this year is a reminder of what he can do with underdog machinery

[HeartbreakKid]

Monaco with the slightly narrower 2026 cars should produce better racing than the processions we have seen in recent years. The barriers are still terrifyingly close though

[Oscar73]

Hamilton at Ferrari watching his former team dominate must be a complicated feeling. He left for Ferrari and Ferrari are the ones chasing Mercedes rather than the other way around
