All eyes were fixed on Charles Leclerc this weekend, with hopes high that he might finally shatter the curse that has shadowed his career: winning his home race. From the onset of FP1, it was evident he wouldn't allow anything to stand in his way. Setting benchmarks beyond reach, his confidence going into the race was unparalleled.

The Monaco Grand Prix, entrenched in the city's legacy, has remained unchanged for a considerable time despite Formula 1 car regulations evolving to produce larger, longer cars. Negotiating the narrow streets has become increasingly challenging, rendering overtaking nearly impossible. This year proved no exception, with fewer than five on-track passes throughout the entire race, compounded by a red flag on Lap 1 prompting all teams to opt for a single set of tires for the duration.

Fans are clamouring for Formula 1 to revitalize the Monaco Grand Prix, proposing various changes such as altering the track layout, introducing a DRS section, reverting to classic Grand Prix regulations with different car specifications, or mandating three pit stops. Numerous compelling ideas aim to inject more excitement into an event that has lacked thrills in recent years.

Anticipation initially suggested Max would dominate yet again this year. However, with four different race winners already and a tightly contested championship battle, the season has proven to be far more unpredictable and captivating than anticipated.
