Monaco Sunday: The Senate Grand Prix Form Guide

It is the Sunday before the Monaco Grand Prix, and at Senate Grand Prix HQ, the coffee is strong, the lights are bright, and we are working straight through the weekend.

The track build is complete, the yachts are dropping anchor in Port Hercule, and the conversation in the paddock has turned entirely to one question: Who is going to tame the streets of Monte Carlo next weekend?

The tight, unforgiving barriers of Monaco mean that qualifying is 90% of the race. There is no room for error, no space to breathe, and the ultimate premium is placed on a driver’s raw qualifying single-lap pace.

The Senate Grand Prix Top 5 Predictions

We’ll be the first to admit we normally get our predictions completely wrong—especially in this highly volatile 2026 technical era. But after analysing the low-speed corner mechanical grip data from Miami and Montreal, our trackside team is locking in our official top five for Sunday's main event:

1. Sir Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari)
2. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)
3. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
4. George Russell (Mercedes)
5. Oscar Piastri (McLaren)

Why Sir Lewis Takes the Crown

While Charles Leclerc has historically been the qualifying master around his home streets, and the data heavily flags him as the favourite, we are letting our inner motorsport romantics take the wheel.

Lewis Hamilton loves the tight confines of Monaco. 

With the Scarlet Red Ferrari upgrades proving to be a potent weapon in low-speed traction zones, we predict Hamilton will string together a magical pole lap on Saturday and control the race from the front on Sunday to secure a historic first win for the Prancing Horse.

Right behind him, the 19-year-old Italian rocket Kimi Antonelli will be pushing his Mercedes W17 to the absolute limit. Antonelli leads the championship by 43 points, but Monaco is a psychological gauntlet. Keeping a frustrated George Russell and a hungry Oscar Piastri behind him in the maritime chaos will require every ounce of maturity the young upstart possesses.

The countdown is on, the paddock is tense, and the ultimate crown jewel awaits.

And as always, when the lights go out and the drama unfolds, here at Senate Grand Prix, there is only one winner, and that's you, the race fans!
