We are in the middle of another triple header, the second of the Formula 1 season so far. Imola provided a more exciting race than anyone expected and Monaco is next with a new rule making two pitstops mandatory.

Max Verstappen and Red Bull came roaring back to dominant form at Imola, while Ferrari had a weekend of two halves in front of the tifosi. And Aston Martin found some speed… in qualifying at least!

So what’s going on and will Monaco give us a different picture once again?

James Allen is joined by Motorsport.com Editor-in-Chief Ben Hunt, who is fresh back from Imola, to discuss the race. And Autosport’s Jake Boxall-Legge explains why he thinks McLaren will be hard to beat on the streets and is the favourite for a record 16th Monaco Grand Prix win.
