The glitz and the glamour of Monaco welcomes Formula One for the seventh round of the 2022 season today.
For the first time this year, Max Verstappen enters a race with a championship lead having swooped past Charles Leclerc in the standings with victory in Barcelona last time out.
But it was far from plane sailing for the reigning world champion having gone off the track early on while behind the Ferrari, before Leclerc was forced to retire his car with an engine issue.
The weekend will be a particularly special occasion for Monaco-born racer Leclerc, who has still never finished a race around his home circuit.

Some much-needed help from Carlos Sainz will be high on his priority list and the Spaniard helped secured a front-row lockout for Ferrari during qualifying on Saturday.
Max Verstappen will start from fourth after being caught behind a final-minute incident involving Sergio Perez, as the Mexican crashed out before Sainz clipped his Red Bull to block the entrance to the tunnel.
It seems highly unlikely that Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will join the fun with Monaco certainly not suiting the difficult Mercedes car of 2022 - yet rain could well be on the menu on race day.
