Monaco GP Best Corners Guide

  With Monaco always being a logistics challenge to plan, I wanted to put together a comprehensive breakdown of the absolute best vantage points around the circuit, depending on what you’re actually looking to get out of the weekend (drama, speed, or pure luxury). After looking at how the circuit layout translates to real-world viewing, here is the breakdown of the key sectors: 1. For First-Lap Drama: Sainte Dévote (Turn 1) If you want to see where races are literally won or lost on lap one, you need a view of Turn 1 . It’s a heavy braking zone where drivers have to show massive commitment. The View: You want something elevated here, like the Ermanno Palace Suites .

The Montreal Melting Pot: Power Units and Paddock Pressure

With the Canadian Grand Prix just two days away, the atmosphere on Montreal's man-made island is an electric wash of excitement.

At Senate Grand Prix, we rely on real-time facts and the exclusive, award-winning trackside photography of James Moy to cut through the paddock noise, and this week the noise has been louder than ever, making a prediction very difficult to call.

The Intra-Team Pressure Cooker

  • The Silver Arrows: While Kimi Antonelli’s romantic, record-breaking run has stunned the world, George Russell arrives in Canada with a point to prove.

Charles Leclerc

  • The Scarlet Stable: The data heavily favours Charles Leclerc, whose younger, razor-sharp adaptation to the SF-26 leaves Sir Lewis Hamilton hunting for answers—and his first win in red. 

  • Hamilton loves Montreal, but he needs to close the garage gap fast, as his fans are now looking for his Montreal Magic!

Alongside Isack Hadjar, Red Bull is desperate to transform their upgrade package into raw race wins. 

Meanwhile, current World Champion Lando Norris has his McLaren absolutely nailed on, flanking teammate Oscar Piastri in a devastatingly balanced lineup, so watch out, Mercedes, perhaps the fight is now on from Zak Brown.

With unpredictable weather and the brutal "Wall of Champions" looming, Montreal promises a classic, multi-team dogfight.
