The F1 '24 season continues with the Grand Prix de Monaco and with homegrown hero Charles Leclerc gaining pole position, will this be a make-it-or-break-it moment for this Ferrari driver? It's going to be a tough battle on the loudest Sunday in motorsport history because this race is coinciding with the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600.
The Monaco Grand Prix saw the McLaren team sporting the Senna Siempre colors in honor of Ayrton Senna's 30th death anniversary.

As the lights went out, the action began with Charles Leclerc leading into the first corner and he's making great progress 13 laps later while his teammate, Carlos Sainz, is busy hunting McLaren's Oscar Piastri for P2. Sergio Perez, Kevin Magnussen, and Nico Hulkenberg, meanwhile, crashed themselves in the opening lap.
Halfway through the race, the podium remains the same with Leclerc on top, Piastri on P2, and Sainz on P3. With 28 laps left, Lance Stroll has a puncture after tapping the barriers exiting the Nouvelle Chicane, forcing him to pit for new tires. Still, there's no stopping the top three fighting for the win, even Leclerc himself gunning to win on his home turf.
After five years of failure, Charles Leclerc has done it. He won the Monaco Grand Prix at his own game. Oscar Piastri finished 2nd and Carlos Sainz finished 3rd.
After Monaco, Max Verstappen leads with 169 points while Charles Leclerc is now in 2nd with 138 points and Lando Norris is in 3rd with 113 points.
The next race of the F1 '24 season will be the AWS Grand Prix du Canada this June 9, 2024.
