As we head into the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, excitement is building across the Formula 1 paddock. However, the event has hit a snag due to a kitchen fire that flooded the famous tunnel, delaying the event. But what does this mean for our betting strategies?
First off, let's take a look at the latest qualifying results from the Formula 3 2026 Monaco GP. In a thrilling session, the top three spots were taken by Frederik Vesti (1:22.345), Zane Maloney (1:22.416), and Caio Collet (1:22.442). These results will likely have implications for the Formula 1 grid, with Mercedes' George Russell and his teammate, Antonio Giovinazzi, looking to capitalize on the speed they showed during practice.
Speaking of Russell, the Mercedes driver has been vocal about his teammate's chances in the championship. According to a recent interview, Russell believes that Giovinazzi has the title "to lose." Ferrari, meanwhile, might be a dark horse in the running, with their drivers looking to capitalize on the high-speed nature of the Monaco circuit.
Looking at the odds, Betway is offering 2.50 (1/2) for Ferrari to win the championship, with Mercedes priced at 1.80 (4/5). For the Monaco Grand Prix itself, Betway has Ferrari at 4.00 (3/1) to take the chequered flag, with Mercedes at 3.50 (7/4) and Red Bull Racing priced at 3.00 (1/2).
