Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix 2021

The pandemic prevented the Monaco Grand Prix in 2020, but this time, the streets of Monte Carlo will once again welcome the world's fastest cars in one of the most traditional - if not the most - Formula 1 events. Sunday's race will be for the fifth stage of the season, led by Lewis Hamilton. The Mercedes driver is 14 points clear of Max Verstappen, having won three of the four races so far. The event in Monaco may be the most different of all so far this year, but the Brazilian Motorsport.com team has some useful tips for your bets:

Valtteri Bottas continues to make bettors happy when he comes to a free practice, specifically the first one. The session, which takes place in Monaco on Thursday, had the Finn in front of three of the four GPs so far in 2021. You can't imagine that he will change this routine. Fastest in first free practice: Valtteri Bottas

Another sure bet for the Monaco GP is the presence of the safety car. In all the 2021 races so far it has been called on to circumvent an accident situation or even a retirement, as was the case with the Spanish GP with Yuki Tsunoda. The narrow streets of Monte Carlo suggest a replay of this movie. Presence of the safety car: Yes

Among the active drivers, Lewis Hamilton, Daniel Ricciardo, Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen have already won at Monte Carlo, with only the Englishman having a real chance of repeating a triumph. But it is worth believing that Ricciardo can emulate what he did in Barcelona, when he finished sixth in the race, confirming his good adaptation to McLaren. Top-6: Daniel Ricciardo
