Antonelli names Ferrari as ‘team to beat’ in Monaco

Kimi Antonelli is heading into the Monaco Grand Prix on a four-race winning streak, currently holding a 43-point lead over Mercedes teammate George Russell. Despite his recent dominance, Antonelli has identified Ferrari as the team to beat in Monaco, citing their superior low-speed downforce as a significant advantage on the tight street circuit. Lewis Hamilton, who finished second in Canada, echoed the sentiment regarding Ferrari’s potential, noting that Monaco’s reliance on car performance rather than raw engine power could play into their hands. While Hamilton continues to battle a power deficit with his current car, he remains optimistic about the team's competitiveness at the iconic venue and is focused on maximizing setup from the opening practice session.
