Peter predicted in the build-up to the Monaco GP that Ferrari would be super quick...and so it proved. Charles Leclerc not only won his third pole at Monaco but also went on to win at home for the first time, replicating the achievement of Louis Chiron in 1931.  It was, as such, a momentously significant race for F1 - but it was also an unusual one: the Pirelli hard- and medium-compound tyres ran virtually the full race distance; and for many laps the top four were covered by only four seconds.  Many observers - but not Peter - were critical of the slow race pace that engendered these aspects.  As Peter  points out in this podcast, however, speed is only relative - as the violence of the first-corner accident, and the suspense of the afternoon,  clearly proved.
