Charles Leclerc has finally achieved his childhood dream of winning at home. 



The Monegasque driver produced one of his strongest weekends in Formula 1 to convert a sensational pole position into an emotional Monaco Grand Prix victory and lift his home race curse.



So what does Leclerc’s win mean for his and Ferrari’s championship challenge?



In the Monte Carlo paddock, Tom Clarkson is joined by Fox Sports Mexico journalist Diego Mejia to discuss just how significant this result is for the whole season, with Ferrari test driver Marc Gene telling us the secrets to Leclerc’s speed on the streets of the Principality.



Also on the F1 Nation agenda: who was at fault for the huge crash between Sergio Perez and Kevin Magnussen on lap 1? Could Carlos Sainz go to Williams? Will McLaren be competitive everywhere this year? And what did Lewis Hamilton’s comments over the weekend reveal about his position at Mercedes? 



Plus, Alpine Team Principal Bruno Famin said there will be ‘consequences’ for Esteban Ocon after his crash with teammate Pierre Gasly - what could they be?






Leclerc’s Monaco masterclass ignites Ferrari’s title fight – 2024 Monaco GP Review

From the Imola paddock, Tom Clarkson is joined by Fox Sport Mexico’s Diego Mejia and Italian journalist Andrea Cremonesi to reflect on a thrilling finale to the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, as Max Verstappen held off a charging Lando Norris to win by just seven tenths of a second.



How did Verstappen go from enjoying a comfortable lead to almost losing the win? Why did Norris find so much pace towards the end? Could Oscar Piastri have won the race had he not been given a three-place grid penalty? Charles Leclerc finished third, but how will Ferrari be feeling after such high expectations for their upgrades? Tom, Diego and Andrea discuss all the big talking points and the latest developments in the driver market.



Plus, RB Team Principal Laurent Mekies joins the pod to discuss whether they’re now targeting Aston Martin in the Constructors’ Championship and the team make their predictions for Monaco.
