Voted for Lewis. Although I'd be ok with being proven wrong. With how hard it is to pass here, I think Monsieur Lewis will win based on the fact that I expect him to be on pole. And I'd like to see Max V or Daniel Ricciardo or both on the podium.

With little adavantage for engine power, I think Ferrari will come to the front.

I'm betting on Vettel

My vote is for Lewis. He has to bounce back after that crash in Spain. Hopefully salty Nico uses his brain this race

Nico has won the last three years. Although last year was a strategy mistake on part of the team that cost Lewis. I'd say Nico is at home there and definitely a strong contender for the win.

Going Lewis, but Nico is on my fantasy team.

Verstappen will make a showing in qualys, but Monaco is an ant march, and Max won't have all that tasty clean air he had in Spain.
