Kimi Antonelli is aiming to continue a remarkable rise to the top of Formula 1 as he starts on pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix with a chance to further stretch his standings lead. Monaco is the glamorous traditional high point of the F1 season and the 19-year-old Mercedes driver could join some of the sport’s greatest names as a winner. It’s almost impossible to overtake on the narrow, twisty street circuit, so his pole position is especially valuable.
