#MonacoGP 🇲🇨 | Lewis Hamilton believes Ferrari will be competitive:
“I would say this track would be better for us than some of the others.”
“Because the straight lines we had, for example, in Montreal, we lose quite a lot of time, and obviously here we would lose a lot less.”
Charles Leclerc is hot favourite to win the Monaco Grand Prix, with Polymarket implying a probability of 1/3.
Lewis Hamilton is second favourite, with implied probability of 17% 👀
The seven-time champion did however praise Toto Wolff for giving Antonelli the right support system, admitting he did not have the same backing during his own intense debut title fight in 2007.

📰 : Lewis Hamilton has flatly refused to offer Kimi Antonelli any title fight advice, saying “we’re competitors, so I’m not going to give him any more pointers!”
“That's why I'll focus on being there with the same energy I've captured this weekend. I'll work closely with the engineers from the first practice session to get the car into the right setup range and scrutinize every detail.”
Lewis Hamilton on expectations for the Monaco GP:
"Monaco is the only track where engine power is almost irrelevant; everything there depends on chassis performance. I think our car could be very strong there."
However, Cedric Grosjean has gradually entered the structure, and it would not be surprising to hear the French engineer on Hamilton’s radio during Barcelona free practice sessions.

| It is no longer surprising, but from the way Hamilton speaks about him, he has clearly grown attached to Carlo Santi’s approach.
Santi is expected to remain in place at Monaco, a circuit where radio communication is especially delicate.
