We are in the middle of another triple header, the second of the F1 season so far. Imola proved a more exciting race than anyone expected and Monaco is next with a new rule making two pit stops mandatory.

Max Verstappen and Red Bull came roaring back to dominant form in Imola, while Ferrari had a weekend of two halves in front of the tifosi. And Aston Martin found some speed … in qualifying at least!

So what’s going on and will Monaco give us a different picture once again?

James Allen is joined by Motorsport.com Editor in Chief Ben Hunt, who is fresh back from Imola. And Autosport’s Jake Boxall-Legge explains why he thinks McLaren will be hard to beat on the streets and are favourites for a record 16th Monaco GP win.
