Ferrari Eyes 2nd Monaco Win for Leclerc as Low-Speed Edge Threatens Mercedes Streak

Monaco could give Ferrari its clearest shot yet at ending Mercedes' season-long race-winning run, with Charles Leclerc chasing a second home victory.
Ferrari's advantage is expected to come in Monaco's slow, tight corners, where its strong acceleration out of low-speed sections suits a circuit that minimizes straight-line speed.
Qualifying is likely to decide the weekend because overtaking is notoriously difficult there, making pole position especially valuable.
Lando Norris said Ferrari should be on pole, citing low-speed performance he believes is "far better than everyone else."
Even with that edge, Ferrari still faces Monaco's usual risks — weather, wall contact and reliability — that can undo a front-row start.
