The Monaco Grand Prix is held, the seventh round of this Formula 1 World Championship, where Ferrari and Red Bull have proven to be the rivals to beat. Verstappen has taken the leadership of the F-1 World Championship ahead of the Charles Leclerc championship. 'Mad Max' links three consecutive victories in Imola, Miami, and Montmelo.
The Principality circuit comes at the right time for Red Bull, who signed a remarkable 'double' in Montmelo (Catalonia), one of the appointments indicated each season in the Formula 1 World Championship. With the three consecutive victories, Verstappen has vindicated himself with his triumphs in Ímola and in the new Miami GP, which has allowed him to take the lead with 110 points, with four victories to his credit.
Leclerc is second in the standings, where Verstappen has overtaken him. The young Ferrari driver has 104 points in the general classification and two wins, although he added the first retirement in the last Spanish GP. Sergio 'el Checo' Perez completes the podium in the Formula 1 World Championship standings with 85 points. The young George Russell (Mercedes), with 74 points, and Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), with 65, are looking to add points to get into the top three drivers in the standings during the season.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton sits sixth in the table with 46 points. The Spanish Fernando Alonso is in 15th position with a very disappointing campaign so far, where he has only managed four points. The Alpine rider has only scored points in 2022 at Bahrain and Montmelo, where he snapped a streak of four consecutive Grand Prix without cutting.
The duel between Ferrari and Red Bull has marked the season's first six races. Leclerc won two of them, but Verstappen was crowned the winner in the second test in Saudi Arabia and held in the last three in a row in Emilia Romagna, Miami, and Montmelo.
This Monaco circuit is one of the most important and historical in the Formula 1 World Championship. The classification seems very important since it is one of the circuits where it is more difficult to overtake rival cars.
