Monaco checkpoint: who arrives under pressure
The title math is simple heading into Monaco. Mercedes leads both championships, Antonelli is 43 points clear of Russell, and the team’s 72-point cushion over Ferrari gives it the strongest early buffer in the field.
Ferrari arrives with Leclerc and Hamilton third and fourth in the drivers’ table, while McLaren remains third in the constructors’ race. Red Bull is fourth on 57 points, and Verstappen sits seventh on 43, which keeps the pressure on before the cars even roll into Monte Carlo.
