Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, the team strategy for Monte Carlo

The F1 World Championship finally gets underway, with the second back-to-back of the year that brings the GP paddock to move from Barcelona to Montecarlo. This weekend, the most glamorous and exclusive location in the world turns into a real hell for the drivers, for the first time called to drive the new ground effect single-seaters among the streets, walls and manholes of the Principality. Not exactly a trivial undertaking, given that the cars are very large and increasingly heavy, but also considering the weather forecasts that speak of a high risk of rain and a climate that is not exactly summer on the Riviera. All unknowns that add a little more spice to an already uncertain and hard-fought season, after the updates brought to Barcelona and the reliability problems that are conditioning the fight at the top. So let’s find out, in our usual roundup, how Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes and all the others are preparing for the appointment with the Monaco GP 2022.
