Monaco is Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s best chance yet of beating Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton heads into the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend with renewed optimism after achieving his best result yet with Ferrari, a second-place finish in Canada that followed a third-place in China. The 41-year-old, a three-time Monaco winner who last won there in 2019, struggled in the same race last year, finishing fifth after a grid penalty, while teammate Charles Leclerc finished second. Hamilton and Ferrari are considered strong contenders to challenge Mercedes at the iconic street circuit this time around.
