Monaco Grand Prix Qualification Predictions & Betting tips - Formula 1
by Devesh Jaganath |
Formula 1 heads to Europe this week- specifically, Monte Carlo for one of the most prestigious races on the 2026 calendar: the Monaco Grand Prix. Kimi Antonelli has won four of the five Grand Prix this season, and our prediction is that the Mercedes driver will start Sunday’s main race in the top three.
This season’s major regulation change around power units and chassis could have a major impact this weekend in Monte Carlo, where overtaking opportunities are extremely limited.
Indeed, Q1 in particular will give us a clearer indication of what to expect on Sunday, but the famous Monaco circuit structure looks like one where Ferrari are set to shine.
The SF-26 has arguably been the best car in slow corners this year, and while Charles Leclerc had a somewhat disappointing showing in Canada last time out, this is a circuit he genuinely adores.
At long last, Lewis Hamilton is starting to find his rhythm in his Ferrari, which was underlined in Montreal, where he climbed from fifth on the grid to finish second. It would not come as a shock if the Brit claimed the team’s first pole this weekend.
However, you still cannot overlook what Kimi Antonelli has already achieved this season, winning four and finishing second in the five Grand Prix in 2026. He is the first driver in F1 history to win his first four GPs consecutively.
The 19-year-old Silver Arrows’ starlet has proven that he is willing to put everything on the line during qualifying sessions already this year. If he can keep his car on the road, we fancy him to secure a spot on the front row of the grid.

Our Monaco Grand Prix Qualification - Formula 1 prediction
As most Formula 1 fans know, qualifying at the Monaco Grand Prix is usually more important than the race itself, as the tight, winding nature of the track in Monte Carlo makes overtaking incredibly difficult.
The overwhelming consensus is that Ferrari are primed to dominate on Sunday, but it’s hard to overlook Kimi Antonelli as a genuine contender given what the Silver Arrows’ teenager has already achieved this season. Therefore, our Monaco Grand Prix qualifying prediction is Kimi Antonelli top 3 finish.
