SportsLine's model analyzes Red Bull's Max Verstappen, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and the rest of the starting grid's chances at the 2025 F1 Monaco GP

Lewis Hamilton was fifth, but as he chased a late improvement the seven-time world champion lost control over his Ferrari in the long left-hander of Massenet, sliding into the barriers with his right-rear and then right-front, causing a red flag that effectively ended the session.

Charles Leclerc has managed to top all three practice races and established himself as the driver to beat in this Qualifying race. His Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton has crashed his car so that might be not the best for the team but Leclerc has given them hope.

Fresh off Max Verstappen’s surprise win at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, the championship battle intensifies as McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris look to extend their lead and claim the team’s first Monaco victory since 2008.
